The rooms worth crossing London for: the interiors CAMRA lists, the last galleried coaching inn, the pubs where something documented happened, and the ones that do one thing better than anyone. Filter by kind, or by what's open now.
A 1901 hotel by the builder of Crouch End, with a monogram in the lobby floor and Art Nouveau glass over every screen.
Historic interior
John Cathles Hill put this up between 1899 and 1901, and he put up much of Crouch End around it. It is the sister of his Salisbury on Green Lanes, and Historic England reckons the pair of them the pinnacle of late-Victorian pub design. Many of the fittings were made in his own workshops and the Art Nouveau glass is by Cakebread, Robey.
You come in through a circular lobby with a QH monogram in the mosaic floor and a wrought-iron screen lettered THE QUEENS, under a corner drum with a lead roof. Inside is largely intact: a central bar serving four areas divided by ornate glazed partitions with etched doors and Art Nouveau stained glass above them, Ionic terms flanking the counter towards the saloon, a snuggery set in an inglenook with a tiled fireplace and a mirrored overmantel, a coffered ceiling of arabesques and mermaids, and cast-iron Corinthian columns. The front-bar screen has been cut through so you can get round, and one end is now formal dining with an open kitchen.
It was very nearly a pizza restaurant; a residents' campaign with CAMRA stopped that. Small heated garden at the back, and a quiz on Tuesdays.
