The Duke of Hamilton

The Duke of Hamilton

The Duke of Hamilton is one of the oldest pubs in London, situated in Hampstead. It was a popular meeting place for actors Peter O'Toole, Oliver Reed and Richard Burton.[1] Reed would be seen for long periods at the pub on a daily basis.[2]

In 2011, the pub was awarded "Londoner of the Day" by London 24 magazine.[3] The Not For Tourists Guide to London 2014 cited it as being "as good a pub you're likely to find anywhere".[4]

The pub is currently owned by former stockbroker and boy band manager Steve Coxshall. He has said "I share with the community to love the traditional values of a proper English pub".[5]
