Located in the heart of West Hampstead The Black Lion aims to offer great food & drink, served in a relaxed & friendly style. We have a large split level back garden which benefits from the sun setting over it in the evening.
There is a real passion for quality throughout our pub from the five daily changing ales to the extensive wine list and wide selection of spirits. We also have our seasonal specials from jugs of fruity cocktails in the summer to mulled wines and hot toddy’s in the winter.
All our food is freshly prepared and cooked on site in our kitchen. We like to straddle the line between offering pub classics done really well and exciting new seasonal dishes which change frequently.
Join us for all the action from the Six Nations. It's a Lions Tour year so expect an explosive competition with players vying for their spot on the team sheet. Get down early to grab a prime slot.

A great find. Such a lovely pub, great staff and a great beer garden and a fantastic Sunday afternoon vibe. Porchetta roast was really tasty. Pork crackling was perfect and crispy. the pork itself was nice and tender. Beef dripping roast potatoes were nice and crispy on the outside and fluffy in the middle. Kale, carrots and gravy were on point as well. Only frustrating part of the roast, they were lacking cauliflower cheese. It's not to pricey as well, lots of decent side options.
So celebrated my birthday on Saturday and we had booked an area for me and my guests ! And from The get go the whole staff was so accommodating..friendly.. and welcoming.. Massive shout out to Christian, Hugh and Alex for being top sports and sending the drinks out and just making sure we was all good throughout the night ! Live band was on point and could not fault any part of the experience! Would highly recommend this spot for events and celebrations as it was an amazing vibe and talk easy spot. Wish I could give more stars !! Thanks again guys !
Thank you Black Lion for feeding and watering us. My better half had an unforgettable time with a rather large frankfurter - fnarr fnarr. Great ales and a bouncy bassy soundtrack.
Popped in for a late lunch and stayed for the Rockeoke! No, I did not get up to sing... Maybe next time :) Food was delicious, good selection of beers, staff were super nice and the atmosphere was top notch.
For being just off such a busy street this high-ceiling haunt strikes as a sanctuary. As soon as you step in the music hits. Not soon after your staring at a bar full of unique, uncommon biers on tap. If you pop in for the Sunday roast you won’t be dissatisfied…especially if you snag the goat cheese wellington or the chicken! Yes you heard that right…get the darn chicken. All and all, you could sit here all day as the sun soaks through the expansive windows and lights up the elder bar wall.
