The Kings Head, Marylebone

Spent nearly three weeks as a resident tourist in the Marylebone district.
We were totally turned off by most of the high street pubs as they were loud, standing room only, happy hour places � stumbled upon Kings Head on a Sunday afternoon and was immediately taken in by the true locals who make Kings Head their pub �home�. Publicans Mel and Cathy have different specialties � his is beer hers is wine. Over the course of my time in the area I became a regular visiting about every other day. Sunday dinner was great (had the roast beef with classic Yorkshire pudding and all the trimmings) and met so many wonderful people. If you are looking for a real pub home Kings Head is wonderful. Mel and Cathy have been owners/proprietors for about a year at this time and are truly the heart of the place. If you visit tell them Deborah from Florida says hello, stay late, and ask Mel to play his personal favorites music mix. Don�t forget to take photos of the historic plaque outside�it is funny that the site was the home of John Wesley.
