The Junction Tavern, NW5

CAMRA GBG 2017 Entry. Looked through window and could only see dining tables but it is larger than expected, with bar, conservatory and nice garden around the back. A surprising TT Boltmaker was offer. Genuinely rarely seen outside of Yorkshire. In good nick. A decent pub. Visit blogged at http://bit.ly/2wM3nj2

The Junction Tavern is a typical looking London corner pub which has black painted frontage. You have to enter the pub from the side entrance,once inside the pub is split into two halfs,the bar faces inwards and serves the rear room which is for drinkers,this room is bare boarded and has basic wood benches and pew seats plus normal tables and chairs,the front area is seat aside for diners and all tables here are laid out for them,there is also an open kitchen in the front area. There was a decent choice of real ales on the bar,i had a drink of Reunion Ales Opening Gambit,which was a very nice drink,the other real ales were Taylor Landlord,Ringwood Boondogle,Wye Valley HPA and By the Horns Hop Air Balloon. I thought this was a very pleasant pub to have a drink in with friendly service. Pub visited 2/6/2017

Came across this pub by chance after searching for another local pub.I remember this pub from a few years ago and always liked it.Happy memories of past beer fests in here.Great interior and nice beer garden.Nice atmosphere in here tonight.About 4 or 5 cask beers inc Ghost Ship,Tea,Landlord and By the Horns -Hop air balloon.

Sharps Eden, Skinners Cornish Knocker, Deuchers, Nelson Loose Cannon, good quality except the Nelson which wasn't 100%, glad I had a taster before I'd committed to a pint (all £3). Was a little worried on entry as I headed left and found a ‘modern bistro'(?)/ coffee shop style with all tables taken & nowhere to stand but presumably that is predominently for the food side of things and, as I backtracked, to my relief, I found the bar; nice wood panelled walls, decorative ceiling, old wood floor, large windows, large mirrors to rear, & what I consider to be proper pub furniture – wooden tables & chairs. Until I used the loo I hadn't realised that this style continues around the corner, then gives on to a very pleasant conservatory area and, beyond this, beer garden with picnic sets. Newspapers available on bar.
