Grade II listed pub & boutique guesthouse in Kilburn, London
Accommodation
The Black Lion offers 11 individually designed boutique rooms with wooden floors and flat-screen TVs. Each room has a private bathroom with a hairdryer, and some rooms include a claw-foot bathtub. The Grade II listed building's historic interior is preserved, with original features such as fireplaces and a former cooking range turned into a light fixture.
Dining
The on-site pub serves a menu influenced by Indian cuisine, including whole sea bream, roast chicken, and Sunday roasts with lamb or pork. Small plates like burnt aubergine with feta are also available, alongside a large selection of beers and wines. The restaurant uses a full kitchen to prepare dishes such as eight treasure rice and Portuguese red wine.
Location & Transport
Kilburn Underground Station on the Jubilee line is a 5-minute walk from the guesthouse, and Brondesbury Overground Station is within walking distance. Buses to Marble Arch, Paddington, and Victoria stop directly outside the building. The Kiln Theatre is located opposite, and Wembley Stadium is easily accessible via public transport.
Family-Friendly Accommodation
The hotel offers family rooms with twin beds and sofa beds, accommodating up to four guests. Children's meals are available from the pub menu, and the outdoor seating area provides space for families to unwind. The guesthouse maintains a welcoming environment for families, with staff assistance for luggage on the steep stairs.
Guest Services
A complimentary continental breakfast is served daily in the back dining room, featuring sourdough bread, yogurt, fresh fruit, and cereals. The guesthouse provides free bottled water and Rituals toiletries in each room. Daily housekeeping ensures rooms are cleaned, and staff offer luggage assistance and early check-in upon request.
Highlights
Accommodation: 11 individually designed rooms with historic features
“My time at The Black Lion felt like uncovering a London secret; it's a beautifully maintained period building with incredibly clean, well-appointed rooms, and the complimentary bottled water was a thoughtful touch. The pub itself has a warm, welcoming atmosphere, and the food, particularly the curry and Sunday roast, genuinely impressed - a real culinary highlight. Its location, while not central, offers surprisingly convenient access to the Tube, making getting around London remarkably straightforward.”
