The Wishing Well in Kenton

Ah, The Wishing Well – it's one of those hidden gems in London that you stumble upon and think, 'Why didn't I know about this sooner?' From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, the place really shines with its great range of drinks at prices that won't break the bank, and the staff are just brilliant, always up for a chat and serving up pints in a flash. The decor is charming and quirky, giving it that relaxed, homely feel that's perfect for unwinding after a long day. Plus, it's handy that you can pop in with your own grub or catch their Sunday fried chicken special – makes it feel a bit more flexible for a casual meet-up. On the downside, it's not exactly in the most accessible spot, so you might need to plan your route, and if you're hoping for a full meal, well, that's not on the menu here, which could be a bit of a letdown. All in all, it's a solid spot for a laid-back evening if you're after good value and a friendly crowd, but it might not be everyone's cup of tea if you're looking for something more central or food-focused.
