The Queens Head in Camden - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

This place was cool, really good vibes, just a chilled out little boozer

What a brilliant "proper" pub with friendly staff serving a great selection of cask and keg beers - at sensible prices!

OMG What a great find. Very friendly staff, really nice atmosphere and best of all being a beer lover I have to rate this place 5+. Suggest check out Redemption Brewing Co's Big Chief IPA - at 5.5% just right for a couple of pints (warning is a guest beer as at this review).

Gluten free beer available on tap. Highly recommended.

Lovely pub. Great people, warm welcome, and lovely beer. Oh and prices to die for …

Not been to the Queens for some time with work changes, just as busy, friendly and with as good a selection of beers as you'd need, live music Thursday and Sunday

Wonderful pub with great seating options, inside and out. very chill, very welcoming. The staff were super nice. They had a nice menu of bar food and snacks as well.

Regular haunt for ale lovers - good selection

Awesome beers and staff, authentic london pub.

Great choice of beers. Unfortunately our visit was ruined by being told aggressively that the bar would be closing at 11 on four separate occasions from the time we ordered (around 10:40) and 11:05 when the barman turned over all the stools on the adjacent table and stood over us until we'd finished our drinks. Won't be back in a hurry

What a find! Fantastic old school pub. Great range of well kept ales and beers. Reasonably priced for its location. Great atmosphere. Didn't eat but meat/charcuterie boards etc looked excellent . Well worth a visit. Recommended!

There was an unfortunate typeo in my last review (sorry) so reposting .. Came here twice during a short stay in London. Nice atmosphere but NOT overly loud. Good appetizers on offer. Loved the pork pie.

Popped in because it was an interesting place near by. So glad I did. Staff are lovely. Atmosphere is cracking and the beer is on point. Great pup guys !

Great atmosphere and super friendly staff

Excellent craft beer pub with friendly locals, made better by a few youngsters playing excellent tunes on the piano 👌

Family called in for alcoholic drinks , before travelling back to Northeast Durham City, very friendly staff.

Here to visit London and celebrate my birthday. Mars was so kind helping me select the right dram of whisky, Milla was super sweet sharing her knowledge about Scotland and Dylan was great providing beer recommendations!!! Could not ask for better service in an excellent atmosphere!!!!

This is an amazing pub! Milla, Dylan and Mars are so friendly! We had the best time!

The is by far the BEST pub in England!!! Mars, Milla and Dylan are AMAZING!!!! It is well worth your commute if you are not close by.

Strong variety of beers verging from the surprisingly pricey to delightfully cheap. Nice friendly staff and affordable bar snacks. There's a whisky menu too but nobody's really paying attention to that are they

Lively Traditional Pub with good Ale. Oh boy it was noisy with people talking ney shouting.

Friendly local pub, staff were really helpful. Could argue it's the best beer, but we drank it 😄

Brilliant free house with super kept real ales and great selection of craft beers. Had a superb pork pie as well.

Good selection of beers. Decent pub

Amazing selection of beers perfect for after the marathon. Very friendly staff also

Good beer served by someone who knows his beer

The overall staff was beyond friendly, extremely polite, and well mannered, and I will definitely be coming back.

Keeps improving. I’d still love more cask but that doesn’t stop them being one of the best pubs in London. Very good beer curators. Current visit includes a Verdant/other half collab.

Great little boozer, well worth a visit.

Depends what you're looking for in a pub. I'd just visited Calthorpe Community Gdns 2 mins away. Sitting on a Chesterfield by the window, I got a sweet waft from the spray of lilies on the sill, like I was still in the gardens. And the Redemption Session Pale on cask had some floral, lavender twangs before delivering a hoppy hoof to the back of the palate. Maybe only 2 of the 3 cask pumps were on but a really tempting and varied selection on keg. Including a saison which you don't see every day of the week. The hanging sign outside is faded in the sun, meaning it is easily overlooked if walking down Gray's Inn Rd. Some might say the pub looks dated. Or in need of a refurb. I've been in pubs where original woodwork and tiles are over-painted in slate grey to bring them "up-to-date". Personally, I'd say this pub is pretty damn sick just the way it is. Truly feels more like a sanctuary than just a pub. And not just saying that coz I got my CAMRA discount!

Excellent city centre pub with a very "local" feel. Good selection of ales and very well kept. Service was impeccable. Food was of the "board" type so cheese board or meat board. Very well presented and served. Pork pies were very good too.

The pub is about a 15 mins walk from Kings Cross train station. A cozy back street pub which has an nice airy feel about it (with a lovely skylight) and an upright (piano) which apparently someone had been playing prior to my arrival to meet friends. They have a nice selection of craft type beers. (I had a porter which was really good.) And if you are a member of CAMRA show your card for a discount) I believe they did food, but didn't see any. And because it's close to Kings Cross station several groups of people with suitcases called in, had a drink then left. Which is an excellent idea. So next time I'm going on a train journey from Kings Cross, I think I will have a relaxing beer there rather than wait in an over crowded station.

Proper nice London pub, super beer selection and really lovely staff

Nice bar. Went only in for a drink and to rest my feet. Lovely staff.

Wandered in to this gem of an establishment, how rare you have staff attentive, knowledgeable, and accessible in London, an amazing array of craft beers, ciders and whiskey.... Jazz on a Thursday evening, triple bonus points , smiley face and a tick... The vibe is proper laid back, a fireplace if your cold and ceiling fans if your hot they have thought of everything... Go there now!!!

Typical London prices so not cheap, but atmosphere, staff, selection of drinks are all of the highest order. Not a ub if you want the big chain beers but a craft experience you will enjoy

This remains one of my absolute favourite London pubs. Revisited on Saturday c17.00 to find it busy, lively, chatty...but got served quickly and found a superb rectangular dining table for the four of us to sit at. The Porter on draught was excellent. The malts remain an eclectic, reasonably priced range which is island orientated - great ! On leaving we walked past a happy , friendly clientele...uncannily like a Hogarth print. I feel very at home here!! Keep it up you Queens!

Very good pub with an excellent range of craft and keg beers. Good bottled beer selection. A favourite pub near King's Cross, and well worth the walk. Can get crowded, though

Disappointing craft beers tonight. A bit too middle of the road. Not enough high end

Good selection and a gluten free choice.

Great place, fresh beer, welcoming bar manager - also surprisingly affordable for Kings Cross. Go there, get out the cold, sit by the fire and if you're musically endowed play some piano. Good pub, will be going back.

We arrived 10 minutes before the kitchen closed, but they were very accommodating and put our orders through. Food was delicious!

Visited on a quiet Sunday afternoon! Lovely traditional old boozer with a roaring open fire! Cheap too! £4.70 for two halves!

Lovely pub with a great selection of beers and ales. It is quite small so booking an area is recommended.

Great atmosphere, good whisky options and we were lucky to enjoy some amazing live music last time we were in. Always an enjoyable experience.

A firm favourite with an excellent variety of cask and keg beers. Always a cheery and convivial atmosphere. We were particularly well looked after by Kiyah last night — thank you!

No TV, no machines, no intrusive music, people talking, great choice of non-insustrial booze. Nice.

Very authentic and good selection of beer.

Delicious food! Olives and bread, Hummus and pita was really great!

Lovely pub and the barman is friendly and very attentive. All of the staff were very helpful. Definitley recommend this pub!

Outstanding pub. The owner is a wonderful person. We had marvelous conversations. My nephew took me there and now I will seek it out whenever I am in town.

Glad i picked this old pub for my leaving drinks, great atmosphere with Jazz pianist on Thursdays

Interesting pub run by a nice chap called Jim. Some really good beers and in proper glasses!

Great beer/stout and friendly service. A great pub.

Popped in for a little Arvo beer. Gutted I had to leave. Blown away, Jim, such a dude. Could have nattered away for days. Such quality. Beer, food and pure vibes, yes please! Canny wait to head back.

Good real ale at a fair price. Friendly and efficient staff Didn't try food

Great Pub. Nice selection of ales. Lovely pork pie!

good selection of non commercial drinks

Lovely little traditional pub with a fantastic beer selection

Awesome pub with craft beer and real ale selection as well as some amazing whiskys.

Freindly and welcoming place just a short walk from King's Cross Station. On a quiet Street so no traffic or unwanted visitors. Tables outside are a great touch.

10/10 for beer if you like keg beers, which I do! There is three cask hand pumps here, and I know CAMRA rate this pub. Lady behind the bar was so friendly and chatty, which can be rare when you arrive at opening as they are setting up. This pub is a real gem and only a few mins walk from Kings Cross station. Just down greys inn road a bit. They do cold plates of cheese etc if you need a bite to eat as you enjoy their beers. Piano here and they do have some live music including Jazz if that’s also your thing. Felt like a local pub even though it’s so close to a station.

What a great evening lovely ale and lovely people

Probably my favourite pub in London. Great range of beer in a traditional setting. Staff are always friendly and helpful and prices are reasonable.

Good real Ales, friendly staff, comfortable

Nice traditional little pub close by to King's Cross. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Decent prices for London and well kept and served beers.

Lovely people, and they sorted us out with playing cards!

Service was bloody lovely, I felt as if I had entered the long lost hearth of friendship and community I had been so long been yearning for in these troubled times.

Lovely bar staff fantastic point and very friendly

My son has just moved in a few yards away. I wanted to try it and I wasn't disappointed. A great traditional pub, so hard to find these day, great ales and my son liked the lager. Next time it will be the cider. Really friendly staff and asked if I was in CAMRA to give me the discount. Exceptional. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend if you want to experience a proper pub in Central London

Sign outside says “best pub in London”. Might be right! Staff are amazing. Drinks selection is great. People are fantastic.

Great beers, great staff, great atmosphere. Always someone to chat to, or not, whatever suits.

Propa old fashioned london pub. Reasonable prices. Good local beers. Murdered the timothy taylors landlord though. To flat no head too warm. Good enough to go back to. Sat with an old dear on the joanna one night. Propa pub

Affable and hard working barman. Choice of 4 ales on draught. Gets an extra mark for a row of Dickens novels on the shelf. Doesn't open until 4pm on Monday's but other than that keeps standard opening hours.

Small and decent pub with three cask ales and lots of other beers on tap. Friendly staff.

A real neighborhood pub. I enjoyed some good beers with good snacks. Very nice staff. I'll stop by next time I'm in town.

It's a nice pub which is in the CAMRA Good Beer Guide. However, there were only two cask ales available, which was disappointing. If there'd been a wider selection I'd have stopped longer. Reasonable prices for London - £4.60 for a pint.

A proper pub that treats cider/ lager drinkers with respect. Great punters and staff. A rare, real pub. Thankyou

Great venue. Superb selection of beers and a lovely old school pub vibe inside. Fun selection of board games came in handy, barmaid was super friendly and helpful with drink selection. Recommended!

Nice pub despite its immodest claim.

Loads of beers etc. Nice staff. Nice place to drink. Good food as well

I do not like doing poor rated reviews but this needs noting. I got there well before closing time to be told "We only have bottled beers left". I'd just been to GBBF so I hope CAMRA is monitoring. I don't know if it's bad but be warned.

An incredible pub who introduced me the pear cider tap ! Why there is no things like this in France?! Amazing staff, nice and fun, i've spend an really good time. Will came back next time i travel to London !

Great atmosfere. Polite and helpful stuff. Great choices of beer and other drinks

Great bar, great staff, great choice available and prices are decent. Thank you

Really cool independent pub. Great range of interesting drinks - almost all of them ones I hadn't come across before. Definite recommend if you're nearby.

A great beer selection, friendly staff, and perfectly reasonable prices. I had a pint of Redemption's Trinity for £3.60! Unheard of in central London.

Great staff, actually, amazing staff, brilliant beer, fantastic whisky and excellent cider. Happy days. Check out the pianist on Thursday nights.

Went here yesterday with a group of friends and this was by far the best pub we went to!

One of the best boozers in London. No better choice when in the area (often when catching a train)

one of the best pubs I've been to! the staff and regulars make you feel at home in one visit <3 special mention for Sinead, amani and jim for being the sweetest

What a lovely pub. We came in after the baseball and the staff behind the bar were incredibly chatty and friendly. Do pop by and have a drink if you're in the neighbourhood

The Queen's Head, not far from Kings Cross, just down Gray's Inn road. An independent pub with an independent feel. There was not one beer I recognized, brilliant! 3 cask ales and a fine selection of keg beers and ciders ( a Perry too) Great cellar! Nuf sed. Delightful service and a wonderful cheerful atmosphere, great place to drink.

Very diverse interesting beers, cool space. Very good friendly bar staff

Staying in the neighborhood for a few days. I’ve stopped in thrice and plan to do so again today. Exceptionally good service, great cider and beers. Love their pork pie with piccalilli, so damn good! Staff has always been welcoming and good natured. Pub decor makes you feel comfortable and invited. Of all the pubs I’ve tried in London I will miss this one the most.

A very good pub in all respects. Good beer (cask ales and more), good staff, good atmosphere, good food selection, good layout and looks, and a good mix of clientele. Staying overnight near St Pancras before a Eurostar trip, and a bit of research suggested the Queen's Head would be the best bet locally for a drink. The research paid off, as the Queen's Head is a wonderful find and shall certainly be a regular stop prior to future Eurostar journeys.

lovely spot! friendly and charming

Great pub, good selection of drinks and a nice atmosphere with good jazz music the night I was there.

An old fashioned boozer with a wonderful convivial atmosphere.Great selection of beers and ciders.Didn't sample the food menu,so can't comment. Staff were excellent,so friendly and helpful.Couldn't stay away from the place! Will definitely go back on my next trip to London.

Jim was the epitome of a modern day bar man. Attentive, interactive, genuine and filling our empties before we even realised. Good with customers, great for the business. Thank mate
