A very busy, keg only old school locals pub. Several TV screens are dotted around the U shaped pub and between them were showing both horse racing and Football. I actually longer than planned to watch the Chelsea v West Ham match, this entailed a couple of pints of Staropramen and a Guinness. Being bang next to the Tube station was an ideal situation for me with the Bakerloo line taking me directly back to Waterloo.
It's the sort of boozer I would have regularly attended back in the mists of time, no longer, but of it's ilk it's perfectly fine.

Feels like this must be physically closest to any tube station exit as any pub in London - in this case Kilburn Park. It is a fairly basic pub with a U shaped bar facing you as you walk through the doors on the left or right sides of the pub. Bare boards the order of the day with the right hand side of the U shaped bar opening up into a seating area that was much quieter than the bar area that was rocking on my visit a bit before 6pm. There are five TV screens on the upper walls just in the front bar area, the one I was interested in was showing the evening racing! What else would you expect in this particular demographic orientated pub? There is some outside seating that was popular, perhaps only to get away from the relentless pop based soundtrack!

Only keg offering as you would expect. So obligatory Guinness plus John Smiths augmented by Worthington Cream Flow. Ciders were Strongbow plus Aspall. Plenty of lagers - Madri, Staro, Carling, Fosters, Stella. Nothing fro cask or craft aficionados but then again that would hardly what this venue is aimed at. A nice convo between the bubbly bar lady and an obvious regular was the hypothetical war gaming strategic exercise of what would happen if you walked in the door and I told you there was no Strongbow!

Yes, this place is basic but I would choose any day of the week over the now v pretentious previous venue of the Hero. ok I will probably be back here in a few years to find this place is now called the Prince and the walls have been stripped of the racing memorabilia and pub mirrors and cask is only served if the chance of precipitation is below 17% and the rolling average seasonally adjusted temperature is within 2 degrees of the last 5 year peak. On the meantime, enjoy the feel of a basic pub like this - the locals seemed v happy and it is only a Monday early evening. What’s wrong with a pub where the person behind the bar knows what everyone that walks thought the front door wants (OK she didn’t know i was a pint of John Smiths).

Postscript as I pressed submit was Hero belted by Mariah Carey was the next song offering as if to cause doubt in my preference over previous venue. No Mariah, I am right, the Prince of Wales is a better pub than the Hero!!

Situated bang next to Kilburn Park Tube, this is a grade II-listed mid-19th century pub with some faience tiling which probably dates from the 1930s, but is of special note as it depicts the name of the long-lost Wenlock brewery, whose tap is in fine fettle.
This place has probably been given a makeover since Rex’s visit, given the new swanky lavs, but it’s still very plain, with a modern pale boarded floor, overall cream colour scheme, patterned swag curtains, overly bright lighting both Victorian and modern in style, a small, raised carpeted area to the right-hand rear, which features two dartboards; the only nod to heritage is a central bar structure which isn’t modern. Furniture is traditional, with décor comprising obligatory United Nations bunting, a few prints, then basic brewers’ mirrors, most if not all relating to Guinness, for this pub has a slightly Irish flavour (this is Kilburn), though not as strong as Angie’s up the road, customers being mixed locals, either middle aged or elderly and few on a Friday night. There’s a multitude of TVs showing a plethora of sports, some pre-recorded, given that they were taking place during daylight at gone 9.30pm. There was also a barely audible tinny soundtrack playing courtesy of some radio station, presumably in a bid to save on the costs of public broadcasting rights’ fees, the added downside being the adverts between songs, but thankfully not the inane commentary, courtesy of Smashie and Nicey.
Naturally there’s no real ale here, just a basic fizz line-up, me opting for a half of Staropramen at a pricey £2.60, served by a batty but harmless barmaid, my iPhone informing me that I had just made a transaction at the Duke of Wellington (??).
This isn’t a great pub; who in their right mind would drink here with the fantastic Carlton Tavern round the corner?
