The Holly Bush is the quintessential London pub. Built in 1643 it has changed little over the centuries. Hidden in the attractive back alleys of Hampstead The Holly Bush is a cosy warren of small rooms, giving it a distinct homely feel. A roaring coal fire in winter, great beers and great gastro grub make this an ideal place to while away a weekend afternoon.
