The Magdala, Hampstead

Historic independent pub with 20 keg beers, 7 casks & ciders, small batch spirits, Sunday roasts and a daily parade of really excellent dogs.

Just been for a walk around Hampstead Heath, working off the beer belly. In the interest of staying hydrated, I popped into The Magdala Tavern for a pint. In April 1955, Ruth Ellis—who would become the last woman hanged in the UK—shot her lover, David Blakely, outside the pub.

All in all, The Magdala Tavern has it all: history, character, brilliant decor, great beer, and a food menu with plenty of fans. I had a cracking time here — 10/10 would recommend.

Hampstead ( known locally as the Magy & still trading today). A tragic tale of a woman scorned by a cruel & abusive lover.

On Sunday, 70 years after Ruth Ellis became the last woman in Britain to be hanged, the pub where she gunned down her lover David Blakely, are putting on a screening a film of the recent sold-out show, performed on the 70th anniversary of the murder

[Stefan Simanowitz @StefSimanowitz]

@MagdalaTavern “Exactly 70 years ago, the execution of Ruth Ellis became a turning point in the movement for the abolition of the death penalty. Rather being macabre, our show at @MagdalaTavern tonight is poignant, powerful and life-affirming piece”

7.30pm - FREE ENTRY

A leisurely start today, not many planned but lots of travelling.

First up is @MagdalaTavern, a large historic pub opposite Hampstead Heath station.

Half a dozen cask ales and 20 taps offer a good range.

Continued in to Hampstead for stop five at the Magdala. One of those pubs that is in one of the Big Smoke families, but I never know which are connected to which - I really should look in to it! Good range of beers including 5 cask ales in good condition.
