AboutAbout The Black Lion Pub & Boutique Guesthouse
The Black Lion is a beautiful Victorian pub in Kilburn, combining a bar and dining room within stunning Grade II listed interiors featuring ornate carved wooden ceilings and wood panelling. The gastropub serves a distinctive menu that goes beyond standard pub fare, with many dishes influenced by north Indian cuisine and cooked over charcoal ovens, alongside real ales, craft beers, and an eclectic wine list.
The venue also operates as a boutique guesthouse with 11 individually designed rooms upstairs, each blending period features with modern comforts. The food offering ranges from bar snacks to a full dining experience in the restaurant, with seasonal ingredients and house-baked bread from the charcoal ovens.
Dogs are genuinely welcomed throughout The Black Lion, making it an excellent choice for a meal or drink with your four-legged companion. Located opposite the Kiln Theatre and just minutes from Kilburn station, it's a characterful neighbourhood spot with a warm, inclusive atmosphere.
