There’s nothing quite like an afternoon in the pub after a long walk, and The Spaniards Inn is the perfect place to relax after doing a loop of Hampstead Heath. The Grade II-listed pub, at the top end of the Heath not far from Kenwood House, is one of the oldest (and most haunted – watch out for the ghost of Dick Turpin) pubs in London, having been established in 1585. Charles Dickens mentioned the pub in The Pickwick Papers, as did Bram Stoker in Dracula, and it’s allegedly the place where Keats wrote Ode to a Nightingale, so it’s not short on history. With cosy interiors, an open fire, a walled beer garden, craft beers and cask ales on tap, a modern gastropub menu and a cracking Sunday roast, it’s got everything else you could want from a pub too.
