The LordSouthampton

The Lord Southampton is a Georgian pub built in 1752 on Southampton Road in Kentish Town, closed and boarded up for several years before Phil and Amy took on the lease in 2024 and restored it room by room. Underneath decades of grime they found the original 1920s wood panelling largely intact, along with fireplaces and tall arched windows, all restored rather than replaced; CAMRA lists the pub's interior as being of special national historic interest. The bar serves a short changing list of cask and keg beer with no screens, fruit machines or piped music, and a kitchen serves bar snacks, a changing menu and a Sunday roast for which booking is recommended. Restoration work on the building was recognised locally, including a community pub restoration prize from CAMRA. It operates as an independent freehouse rather than as part of a pub company, with Phil and Amy running the site day to day.
