About The Washington
The Washington is a handsome Victorian pub on Englands Lane in Belsize Park, dating from 1865 and Grade II listed for its well preserved interior. Original features including etched glass, decorative tiling and mahogany fittings give it a real sense of period character.
Built as a pub-cum-hotel, it still carries traces of that history, from the Washington Hotel mosaic in the lobby to the tiled bust of the first American president set among the classical decoration. The main room is open plan and comfortable, with banquettes, booths and a real fire.
The kitchen serves food across the week and the bar mixes cocktails alongside a good range of ales and wines. It is dog friendly and has outdoor seating, so it works for a relaxed lunch, an evening meal or drinks with friends.
With regular live music and its strong 4.5 rating, the Washington is one of the standout locals in Belsize Park, blending Victorian charm with a genuinely lively, well-run atmosphere.
