The Duke of Hamilton, Hampstead

Oh shame of shames. This used to be the most wonderful pub in all of London town, but recent reviewers are to be believed. It no longer warrants more than a spit on the way down to the Olde White Bear. Outside still a sunny spot but don't venture in. Poorly kept ales, manners and staff do the admirably devoted clientele a criminal disservice. Don't be insulted, don't go. Shame.
