King William ? Pub & Rooms in Hampstead

Ah, the King William IV – it's one of those pubs that really captures the heart of Hampstead, isn't it? From what I've gathered, it's got this inviting feel with walls packed full of portraits, making it feel like a proper local gem. The staff stand out as the real stars; they're chatty, warm, and go out of their way to make your visit memorable, which is just what you want after a long day. Plus, the drink deals are spot on – happy hour every day means you can enjoy house doubles or a cheeky pint without breaking the bank, and the live music nights add a lovely touch of excitement, whether it's an open mic or a piano sing-along. Oh, and don't miss the Sunday roasts; they sound like a proper treat with all the trimmings. But, and I say this with a bit of caution, there was that one review about food poisoning from the prawns, which is a shame and makes me think twice about the kitchen's consistency. If you're eyeing up the rooms for a stay, they're in a great spot but a bit on the snug side, with the toilet feeling a squeeze – fine for a quick overnight, but maybe not for a relaxed getaway. All in all, it's a solid choice for a pint and a laugh, as long as you go in with your eyes open to the occasional slip-up. I'd say it's worth popping in for the vibe, just pair it with a reliable backup plan for eats!
