OLD FOUNTAIN
Book

— Terrace —

Up above Baldwin Street

Craft beer, a roof terrace, real ales and Sunday roasts. Heated, covered, and planted.

— Relax —

A heated, covered roof terrace.

The Old Fountain is a place to slow down: craft beer, real ale, and a terrace set with timber tables, benches and a good deal of greenery. It is covered and heated, so London weather is less of an excuse than usual.

When you book, tell us whether you want the terrace or a table inside the pub. The terrace closes at 10pm. We are in among the neighbours, so the later it gets, the quieter we keep it.

  • Covered seating with heaters
  • The full beer list, carried upstairs
  • Food from the Kamu kitchen, including Sunday roasts
  • Groups welcome — say so when you enquire

Tables, stools and the bar in the main room

— The room —

Or stay downstairs.

Dark joinery, floorboards, globe lights and stained glass in red and gold. There is a green leather banquette along the open kitchen, stools at the bar, and smaller tables if you would rather be out of the weather entirely.

It is still a pub. You can come in for one drink and leave, or settle in for the long lunch. Staff will talk beer without making a performance of it.
