The Lock & Lantern, W11

Visited 03/12/25. Visited previously as Quiet Night Inn on 22/11/23 Cask was a single hand pump providing Heroes IPA from Hogs Back Brewery plus an unclipped hand pump. Keg offering was the Hawkstone IPA, Session and Cider, Pillars Helles & Pilsner, the Wanna Go To The Sun pale ale and the Keller Pils from Lost & Grounded, Deya Steady Rolling Man, Tennent's and Murphy's stout. Nice to see this venue right by Westbourne Park station reopened. It certainly is a plush reincarnation. Bare boarded with a near full island bar in the centre of the floor space. Regular tables served by regular chairs and banquettes, some tall tables dotted around the bar counter. There is an area around a tall table to the left of the entrance that provided a slightly more secluded drinking space with a drinking ledge and tall stools looking out through the large plate glass windows. There is some outside space at the side of the venue, with traditional picnic style benches and plenty of lighting on my dark early December evening visit. Inside lighting was also very subdued. The venue was busy and chatty so much so the soundtrack was totally drowned out and there was an incredibly pungent smell of mulled wine pervading the interior.
