Historical version 3 of Queen's Head, WC1X 9NB (view current version)

Pub near King's Cross/Bloomsbury with a remarkably good smoking area.

Rowley Birkin QC visited in late-January/early-February 2008. I thought the smoking area was an internal room at first, but on wondering why they had decking indoors I realised it's a well-disguised patio. There are benches, ashtrays, heating, lighting, and the "ceiling" is actually an awning stretched to virtually meet the walls. One wonders if it is even legal.

Adnams Bitter (not Broadside) £2.70 - was OK.

Food served Mon-Fri (12-3pm, 5-9pm). Burger and chips £5, plus a variety of other food: fish and chips, pizza, chicken tikka masala, etc.

Beware of darts if male or a smoker.
