According to the Feb/Mar 2018 <i>London Drinker</i>, the premises are now occupied by the Hampstead Lounge &amp; Jazz Club.
<b>Note:</b> As of mid-2010, there are planning applications in progress for a change of use and conversion to residental use. The pub remains open for now, but will obviously close if the applications are successful. There's more information at the [http://www.savetheduke.com/ Save The Duke campaign website].

Inside, the decor is traditional <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/3964457192/ photo]</small>, with a worn patterned carpet on the floor, patterned upholstered banquettes, velvet curtains with pelmets and tiebacks, and a stained-glass gantry above the bar. The only incongruous note is the large flatscreen mounted near the ceiling in one corner. There's patio seating out the front, and a basement bar available for hire.

[[bob]] visited on a Thursday evening in February 2008. Sharps Own was &pound;2.40/pint, and they also had Gales Swing Low, London Pride, ESB, and Old Rosie on tap. No evidence of food.

The management at the Duke of Hamilton changed in early 2011; the pub closed for refurbishment and reopened on 1 March 2011 owned by [http://web.archive.org/web/20140105110144/http://thethreeboozers.com/ The Three Boozers] pub company. However very little changed in terms of decor (aside from a coat of paint and a new carpet), and the ambience remained the same &#8212; a proper old-style real ale pub.
[[Kake]], [[Ewan]], [[Sarah]], and [[claud]] visited on a Thursday evening in September 2009; this time the ale options were ESB, London Pride, Chiswick, and Meantime LPA, while the cider was Millwhites. On tap (i.e. non-handpull) they had Honeydew, Licher Weizen (&pound;1.75/half), Bitburger, and Meantime London Stout. Can't remember if there was music playing, but at least the flatscreen was switched off.

Inside, the decor is traditional <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/3964457192/ photo from before the refurb]</small>, with a patterned carpet on the floor, patterned upholstered banquettes, velvet curtains with pelmets and tiebacks, and a stained-glass gantry above the bar. The only incongruous note is the large flatscreen mounted near the ceiling in one corner. There's patio seating out the front, as well as a fairly sizeable space out the back. The basement is home to [http://web.archive.org/web/20140221161437/http://www.thedukenewendtheatre.com:80/ a theatre] which is also available for hire.
There was no evidence of food on either of our visits, but a visitor called Ash told us in July 2008 that hog roasts are held outside in the summer. Ash also mentioned that there's a large selection of bottled beers and whisky, with large single malts at &pound;4 (as of July 2008).
== Line 13 ==
There are six handpulls for ale. On [[Ewan]]'s June 2011 visit, these offered London Pride, Acorn Simcoe IPA, and two Brodies ales (California and London Fields Pale Ale), &pound;3/pint. Some lagers were also available, including Bitburger, and they had Cotswold cider on tap. On [[Kake]]'s July 2013 visit, the ales were London Pride, Sharp's Special, Dark Star Hophead, and three from the Plain Ales brewery: Hairy Hooker (&pound;1.75/half), Innspiration, and Inn The Sun.

On [[Ewan]]'s Saturday afternoon visit in June 2011, the place was almost empty, but did not look particularly different from how it was before the change of management. Music was playing very quietly. On [[Kake]]'s Friday afternoon visit in July 2013, there were about half a dozen people in, and more sitting outside enjoying the sun. The flatscreen was showing sport with the sound down low.

According to a poster seen in June 2011, there's a poker evening on Wednesday nights (7pm start, &pound;5 buy-in).
