Three of us in for a good value Thai lunch and a couple of pints to wash it down. A few other groups in too with the same idea. Main bar area didn't seem to be in use rather the conservatory instead.

Stunning back street local. Nice friendly local characters at the bar, reminded me of the BBC comedy Early Doors!
I have not listed all the beers.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Park - Killcat Pale | 3.70 | | Hazy, possibly unfined? But an excellent pint full of wonderful citrus and a hint of elderflower! |

Early evening and heaving, I managed to find a seat at the bar with customers bustling about me. Despite this a superb friendly atmosphere as always here.

Soon after 12:00 and plenty of room to sit down. Jason will be pleased to know that the Thai lunches are still priced at £5.

Almost uncomfortably busy early on a Tuesday evening, the two staff members a little over-stretched at the bar. Did not really allow for appreciation of what a fine old pub this is. A beer called ‘Dogfight’ was also on sale but had no indication of brewery name on the clip. By chance I discovered that a CAMRA discount is available here.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stod Fold - Uncle Sam | 5.20 | | Pale gold in colour. Masses of US hops in this, but not quite hitting the right balance in my opinion. |
| Sharp's - Doom Bar | 4.00 | Not Tried |

I moved on from the Junction Tavern when it became too crowded. Five minutes later I was in here, where to my surprise another beer festival was in full swing with casks on a stillage in the back yard. Cruise Ship Tony was in and we talked world travel whilst he ran through his photos from his recent trip to North Korea. A few other beers were available in addition to those listed.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Milestone - American Pale Ale | 4.60 | | Bitter malt taste, with US hops less prominent than expected. |
| Arkell's - Queen's Tipple | 4.50 | | Almost orange in colour, sweet, syrupy and a bit flat from the stillage. |
| Quantock - White Hind | 4.60 | | Chestnut coloured, malty and oily. Dry finish. |
| Oakham - JHB | 3.80 | Not Tried | |
| Orkney (Sinclair) - Raven Ale | 3.80 | Not Tried | |
| Stonehenge - Spire Ale | 3.80 | Not Tried | |

The pub is found in Kentish Town, Greater London, NW5 2NX.
In Leverton Street, probably the most unspoilt pub in the area. It is Grade II listed and on CAMRA's London Regional Inventory of unspoilt pub interiors. It is a short walk from Kentish Town railway station. Saved from being lost as a pub by concerted customer action.
We have visited this pub 15 times, seen 47 different beers and tried 19 of them.
