Hail, rain or shine - the Holly bush is an iconic and cosy pub specialising in hearty Sunday roasts. Ask for a seat up stairs for a bit more of a ritzy feel. Or grab a pint with the locals and spill out on the street. You’re welcome!

Aussie cafe on the cute lane in the heart of hampstead village. Grab a seat by the window for epic people watching (and maybe some celeb spotting whilst you’re at it). Plus they do the best brunch and coffee in the hood (trust me - I am Australian).
