King William IV

King William IV, on Hampstead High Street, is a London pub that welcomes LGBTQ+ visitors. It’s a low-key place, a proper old British pub, a good escape from the thrum of central London.

You’ll find plenty of drinks, both with alcohol and without, including a range of beers on tap, local and imported. They also do food, so you can stay for a meal if you want. The beer garden is a big draw, with space for 50 people, and it’s especially good when the weather’s nice.

Hampstead itself is one of London’s most distinctive areas, known for feeling like a village within the city. This pub fits right in. If you want a queer-friendly place in a residential neighborhood, away from the usual tourist spots, this is it. Forget the West End for a bit; King William IV delivers an authentic local pub experience, and everyone’s welcome.
