The Assembly House, Kentish Town, NW5

Large building but a stripped out interior lacking in character and real ale apart from the dreaded GK IPA.Kegged beers are mainstream dross. It's a Greene King tied house with little to enthuse about,functional at best but why bother with some very good pubs close by.

Watched an old Richard Burton Film which had key scenes filmed here - The Villian - and in 1971, this was a spectacular looking pub. Thought I would check it out. It has changed, but you can see echos of its former glory in the high ceilinged room, with central dome. A green king pub - the pint of Sambournes Wandle exceeded all expectations. Lots of competition in the area but a good pub. Visit blogged at http://bit.ly/2wM3nj2

lovely nice bright pub with massive windows on 2 sides. Very nice brilliant cut and etched glass screen at the rear of the pub. Good range of keg beers and 5 beers on Handpump inc Cottage -Duchess,Cotleigh-Snowy and Honey Buzard.Both Cotleigh beers were good.Nice pub.
