Part of our Best Pubs in London microsite. Is your local listed?
Not so much a new pub as a welcome return for one of north London's most celebrated LGBTQ+ pubs. The Black Cap closed down in 2015 amid much acrimony. Fortunately, a vociferous community campaign led to the Black Cap's reopening in March 2026. Once again, the joint sparkles with drag bingo and karaoke sessions — and if you have a particularly good night here, you can even book a room.
