Lady Hamilton, Kentish Town, NW5

Edited:

One of the few pubs in the area to have reopened under relatively normal conditions: no Big Brother Bother, just a zhoosh of squidge to the hands before being gestured to a table by a very friendly barmaid. No bar service here, so orders were taken from table with payment by card on delivery. The drinks' selection comes from 12 chrome founts and here it's mostly cooking fizz (Amstel, Asahi, Estrella, Camden Hells) but there's also Toast APA and Big Smoke Co.'s Fruju on keg as well as a couple of others I couldn't read; Thatcher's Gold for Worzels and Guinness. There are two real ale pumps marginalised to the left-hand side, one clip reversed, thereafter Purity's Mad Goose at a reasonable £4.00 a pint and on top form.
There's not much open around here as yet and with some pubs worryingly not posting details of when they'll reopen.

Third time lucky and this pub has certainly changed for the better since my last visit. The interior is now far less hipster than before with a metal bar top, and floral claret/gold Victorian/Edwardian wallpaper. Furniture is new yet is more traditional and restrained manifesting itself in dark wood. However, you can certainly tell that this is a pub/bar aimed squarely at the under-30s, not least because of the overly loud music.
Slightly confused staff presided over just two real ales: a reversed clip thereafter East London Brewing Co's Nightwatchman in very good nick and an absolute bargain at £2.00 a half.
This is an improvement over Camden's Daughter but there's far better in the area, namely the far superior Pineapple, ironically owned by the same team behind this venture and Tapping the Admiral, just over the border in NW1.
