Steeped in history, The Spaniards Inn is one of London’s oldest pubs, dating back to 1585. Once a tollgate between Hampstead and Finchley, it has welcomed poets, writers, and travellers for centuries — including Dickens and Byron. Keats is said to have composed Ode to a Nightingale in its gardens, while Bram Stoker drew on one of the pub’s ghost stories when writing Dracula. With its creaking beams, open fires, and tales of resident spirits, it offers a truly characterful setting for a Sunday gathering.
