The Windermere, South Kenton, Wembley

Grand, late 1930s Grade II-listed ex-Courage pub with a largely unaltered interior of national historic importance as recognised by Camra. The main saloon bar and lounge are on the station side, with a newer connection through to the public bar which is now mostly used as a games room. Quite dark inside, partly because the windows are quite small, but also due to the wood panelling and limited Art Deco lighting. Just London Pride (£5.40) available from the three handpumps, but having any cask ale at all is quite rare in this part of London, and well worth a visit for the heritage aspects.
