About The Washington
Step through the bookcase entrance at The Washington and you'll discover Martha's Bar, our speakeasy-style private function room that transforms ordinary parties into something special. We've been serving the community just north of Primrose Hill since 1865, and our Victorian pub has evolved into the perfect backdrop for celebrations of all kinds. Our private bar accommodates up to 70 guests, making it just right for birthday parties, wedding receptions, and corporate gatherings. The original wood-panelled ceiling and exposed brick walls create an intimate atmosphere that feels both historic and welcoming. We've mounted a projector that turns the space into your own private cinema for film screenings or presentations, while the etched glass windows and ornate chandeliers from our Victorian days add character you won't find in modern venues. The main pub downstairs buzzes with quiz nights and live music throughout the week, but up here in Martha's Bar, you have your own sanctuary. We serve everything from our craft ales and artisan spirits to seasonal British dishes, including our Sunday roasts that regulars rave about. The kitchen prepares the same menu for private events, so your guests can enjoy proper pub food alongside fine wines from our carefully curated selection. Getting here couldn't be easier - we're a short walk from Belsize Park, Chalk Farm, and Swiss Cottage stations. Once your guests find the hidden bookcase entrance, they step into a space that balances the warmth of a traditional London pub with all the amenities needed for modern celebrations. Whether you're planning after-work drinks, a milestone birthday, or even a quirky wedding reception, our team knows how to make the most of this unique Victorian setting.
