Part of our Best Pubs in London microsite. Is your local listed?
This famous old music pub beside the market is well known for its gigs, especially the patronage of a certain Ms Winehouse (spot her in an upper window). The main bar is decorated with rock n roll memorabilia, though never in an in-your-face way. In fact, it can be a lazy, relaxing sort of place when visited off-peak, with big comfortable sofas and a winter fire.
Speaking of fire, the Hawley almost burnt down during the disastrous market blaze of 2008 — a conflagration we were unlucky enough to witness first hand. It recovered quickly, and today offers a decent mix of fine food, three cask ales and the usual mix of lagers.
