McGlynn's Free House in Camden

Good old fashioned Irish boozer away from the main tourist catchment around kings x.

This place was a true foundation of friendship building and laughs xx heart broken that its gone

So sorry to hear about the landlord passing, I hope Mcglynns opens again soon

This is a nice pub visited by locals, friendly atmosphere. The description could use an update as, apparently, they stopped serving food during the COVID crisis and haven't restarted their kitchen since, so only drinks available there. Also, when I visited, they accepted only payment by cash (temporarily so, I think).

🚇Kings Cross St Pancras 🍺 £5.80 Guinness ❤️ One of London’s finest Irish pubs. . Tucked away in the backstreets of Kings Cross and away from tourists and travellers fresh off the train is McGlynn’s Free House. The nearest Tube is Kings Cross St Pancras which is just a few minutes walk away. . This pub was built in 1851 and started life as The Duke of Wellington. The pub is Grade II listed and is surrounded by characterful Victorian buildings on cobbled streets, this makes this area one of the most atmospheric parts of Kings Cross. . The decor here is oldschool traditional and features trinkets and items that nod to Ireland’s past. This one bar pub is set out in an “L” shape and has a cosy feel to it. The walls are painted cream and have all manner of bric-a-brac hanging from them including a beautiful wooden clock bearing the pubs name. There is plenty of seating which is a mixture of red leather banquettes, pews and low level tables and chairs. The hallmark of any proper old school boozer is a red carpet, McGlynn’s didn’t disappoint. One observation is that this pub is immaculately clean. . The beer line up was good and included two cask ales, normally there are three available. No visit to an Irish pub would be complete without trying the Guinness. We all really enjoyed our pints, one of the best I’ve had for some time, and reasonably priced. The pub has served food in the past but isn’t serving food at present. . We arrived just after 6pm on a Saturday evening. As you walk in you immediately feel the friendly vibe that is ever present here. The pub was busy with a mix of locals, a few travellers and those in the know. We were served by a very welcoming member of staff who served us in no time at all. I was with my Brother and Nephew who were visiting McGlynn’s for the first time, they absolutely loved everything about the pub. . @mcglynnskingscross is one of the best Irish pubs in London. The welcome, the atmosphere, the decor and architecture and of course the @guinness will keep you coming back for more. This is a must visit London pub, Slainté. . ℹ️ Info correct on visiting 22/07/23

Nice little pub to meet or end trips in, a few minutes walk from King's Cross and St.Pancras stations.

Pure gem,just short distance from kx station. A real irish pub,great Guinness pint and they have Tayto as well! Highly recommended Slainté

Traditional Irish pub in downtown London. Kind servers, good beer and comfortable indoor and outdoor seating. Cool place to 'check in'!

Nice London pub for beer with friends. The bartender let us sample the local beer, knowing we would prefer Guinness. That was kind.

Nice hidden Pub close to Kings Cross

Bardzo dobre piwo i ekstra chips and crips i burgery. Spoko barmani. Bardzo dobre piwo. Polecam Świetny stosunek ceny do jakości

Traditional Irish bar with very reasonable prices and friendly staff.

Um autêntico pub inglês. Vale a pena ver a efervescência do happy our londrino.

Good range of cask beers served by friendly staff at a good price for London

Very lively but decent pub 5mins from St Pancras and King's Cross.

What a great pub. A proper freehouse in the middle of an arid beer desert.

Diamond of a place. Great pint of Guinness and staff were sound.

How about tell your guests not to fight or curse outside, maybe talk softer than a shout after 10:00 so I can sleep? Every bloody night!

Food service has been discontinued for the time being. This is a lovely pub for a pint. They pour Guiness all day so the cask stays fresh. Some good dry cider is available as well.

good value drinks, friendly customer service and great atmosphere.

Someone converted their living room into a pub and we can only thank them

First time in the pub and I will definitely be there again with it being in a great location.

This place is rocking. It’s down to earth. It’s fun it’s low key yet a ton of people go. The prices are great the staff is super kind, funny and social. All they do is serve liquor, no food. But it’s a fantastic place. Very social people. strangers connect. It’s just great.

Tradizionale pub inglese dove si bevono ottime birre.

Bonne ambiance personnel sympa tout pour passer un bon moment

맥주 종류도 많았고 맛있었어요 사장님인지 종업원인지 모를 남자 직원분도 친절하셨습니다.

Absolutely what you want if you like real people and a friendly environment. I’ll be back.

An ideal place to drink alcohol

Haven't been in their for over 40 years and doubt I will go back as it's far too expensive

The real traditional local pub experience in the heart of London.

This is a great little pub, what you expect of a neighborhood pub. Came on a Saturday night and had nice local atmosphere.

Great atmosphere traditional pub.

Nice old school pub, away from noise and traffic.

Run of the mill pub. Good selection of beers, ales and spirits. Atmosphere and a nice vibe to it. Friendly punters and lots of laughing. A good pub for a quick drink. But I didn't't like how the staff served me a drink when they got the mixer wrong and then tried to cover it up with the right one. They said nothing until I challenged it and told me "I wouldn't taste the difference". I can definitely taste it when you mix lemonade and coke together with a spirit. Don't be like that. A wrong order is a wrong order. Just redo it. I'd have given a higher rating if they weren't being so sneaky.

Proper pub, no more, no less :)

Been a few years since I was here. Fantastic and completely genuine old Irish pub. Had a Bermondsey bitter mind you and it was great.

Perfect traditional pub. Wonderful staff.

Good down to earth bar in London across from Kugs Cross Station

One of the most charming and friendly pubs in London. The bar keeps appear to enjoy serving their patrons. Nice beer selection and the place is spotless. Just two blocks from Kings Cross

My first time visiting this quintessential Irish pub in London. An excellent pint of Guinness was had.

Great wknd with newcastle, really friendly staff, welcomed us. 👍

Friendly staff, great beer and a fantastic atmosphere.

Good beer in a traditional pub. Well worth the 2 minute walk from King's Cross!

Świetny bar angielski, wspaniała atmosfera, naprawdę miło spędzony czas, świetnia obsługa, polecam odwiedzić

Otimo pra tomar "a paint" as opções são realmente boas,não possui comida no local,mas vc pode pedir se quiser.

My London local, love the place, Liam is tops despite being a Charton fan.

Old fashioned boozer, only one in Kings Cross area Good beers, Guinness excellent Didn't see any football on when I was there however ?

By a country mile, the best pint of Guinness I've ever had. The pub is lovely

Still a fantastic pub. Fantastic staff, lovely locals, excellent beer (especially Guinness and their ales). What more do you want?

Visited twice in the same day and a enjoyable experience.

Staff rude. Claim that the business is unable to ask Google to amend the description stating that they serve food, which is strange, because random members of the public are able to submit this information as a suggested edit.

Not too busy on a Monday night. Good beer, friendly staff. Ample seatinh

Always lovely here, friendly staff too

Cooles Pub zum Entspannen und ganz einfach ein Bierchen zu trinken 🍻, 6 Pfund für ein Brixton Lager find ich dennoch zu teuer

Good to be back! And that it hasn’t changed. Not been here for three years. Recognise at least two of the staff. Love the carpet! Two decent ales on.

I decided to try the Guinness, popped in on Xmas Eve for a couple of (superb) pints. Very unfriendly welcome, though, from both of the male bar staff - they seemed OK with all others, regulars or not. This obviously precludes subpar intelligence equating to decent manners shown to all. A lot of reviews touch on this!

About as old school a pub as exists in central London

Simple pub, elegant in it's way

Typical pub, good beers, lively white wine and friendly welcome. Warm and cosy atmosphere to relax, read, write and, why not, meet (great) new people, from both sides of the Channel 😉 've been back there a year later (Nov 2022), and OF COURSE it's still a brilliant place to be, drink, talk to people, enjoy life. Missin' my Mancunian N London pals from à year back, though ! See you later, Nellie & friends 😉

Group of us visited this pub before and after a curry meet up in London. The atmosphere in the pub is great. Quiet (relatively so) on our early visit but very busy when we returned from our meal. Great range of drinks whether barrel or bottle and prices not too bad considering we were in London.

First of all, I don’t understand the many people who say they were catching a train and went in for a drink. This place is nowhere near the train station or entrance. In fact it’s quite hidden, down a long street and tick around the bend. But anyway… this is a British pub as they used to be all over Kings Cross before it was all ‘gentrified’ and turned into pony’s wine bars. So all those tourists you see here complaining about not getting silver service, we’ll go some place else and spend £100 on a round of drinks and a sarnie. This place in VFM and you meet all sorts in here. It’s friendly, comfortable and you can hear yourself talk. You can usually get a seat too which is amazing as it’s pretty busy. The place is so well placed on a corner with a smattering o outside benches too. Probably why you can always get a seat. Yeah the decor is 1980s. The place hasn’t had a makeover for 40 years but that’s the way I like it. In a world where everything looks the same and greedy landlords take over everything, support this pub. You’ll be glad it’s still there tge next time you visit.

Saturday 3rd December 2022 We visited this London real ale pub This pub whilst near King's Cross it's off beaten track But we'll worth finding has great hand pulled ales on and a cosy smashing atmosphere to place I will use this place again

Proper crisps, proper Guinness, proper Pub.

Nice pints, conveniently located.

Super British cosy pub - was packed with a great atmosphere on a Thursday night and good value drinks for the location.

Gemütliches Pub mit gebrauchter Einrichtung.

Fab place, great as a meeting point from Kings Cross. Good quality beer selection.

A hidden gem, Tucked away from the hustle & bustle of Kings Cross, 3 real ales on from Southwark brewery.

Always cozy, with the tom cat going around and good beer

Great spot, called it our local for the 5 days we were in town

Better than the chain pubs in the area

Have been to London loads of times and never had a decent drink near the train station. Will be a mandatory stop every time now as it was a proper pub with a great range of drinks!

Smashing traditional pub just a stone's throw from King's Cross. Friendly atmosphere and great beer. The outdoor street side seating was just excellent and on a warm evening there was a lovely vibrant feel to the community. We had a fab time here and we're really pleased we decided to call in. Great Pub!

Nice pub with a furry inhabitant who likes to be pet very much 😀

Very well kept pub, clean and tidy you can tell from one look. Must have a visit soon again. Lots of great food on that day.

Great pub with great staff and amazing beers. Location is great for any international travellers using King's Cross St Pancras

Leckeres Guinness zum fairen Preis. Rustikale Einrichtung und ein uriger Wirt. Durchaus zu empfehlen.

This pub is just one street from Kings Cross Station and has a country pub feel to it, its amazingly quiet considering its so close to the station, you can sit outside in the sun, no traffic or city noise

Nice place to wind down and meet locals and visitors alike. Quite friendly staff. Would recommend visiting for a pint or two.

Très sympa, même avec des français !

Nice London boozer hidden away from tourists.

Decent pub serves an excellent pint of Guinness. Friendly staff and nice atmosphere. Would have marked higher if they served food.

Only popped in because it was raining. Really friendly staff

Great little pub but 6.30 a pint is a bit naughty..

Stayed in London overnight and found this bar right by the hotel. Not over expensive and friendly people 🙂

Bloody amazing pint of Guinness in a proper old school Irish boozer 👌

Good choice of beer, but no longer serving food

Nice little pub. Was pretty quiet when we arrived but sure got busy as the evening progressed. Great people though, good staff, good customers.

Good selection of beer. Sadly no food at the moment

Nice clean and friendly pub hidden away down a quiet street. Beer and wine both good.

Nice pub with a really nice outside area, inside was really really warm though, hence why it's not 5 stars.

Good decent old school pub with reasonable beer prices for London.

Wir waren abends auf ein Bier vor Ort. Sehr freundliche Mitarbeiter und stimmiges Ambiente. Es waren auch einige Locals vor Ort, was ich als positives Zeichen werte.

Freundliches, gemütliches Pub; leider gibt's die jahrelange, richtig gute britische Hausmannskost nicht mehr. Die Küche ist komplett zu.

Very close to King's Cross Station Good waiting room for the train. Very friendly staff and customer's London prices say 🙊 no more . A good pint or two

Nice pub with a pleasant atmosphere and tasty beers!

Didn't think traditional pubs with sensibly priced local beers existed in London! Was impressed with cheerful welcome and made my visit to the capital most enjoyable. Only a stone's throw from Kings Cross.

Nice pub just a short walk off of Euston Road. They have a few beer choices so there's something for everyone. They also have a cat which is obviously a massive bonus. Staff are friendly too. Only down side is that it's a bit pricey, but that's the same for everywhere nowadays, especially in this area.

Love this bar, it's away from the hustle & bustle of King's Cross. No thru traffic, outdoor seating. Good range of beers & lagers

Great local pub that is handily placed for Saint Pancras and Kings Cross. A place for friends to meet, relax, talk and enjoy the excellent Guinness. Recommended
