The Freemasons Arms is a fairly new pub, built in the 1930s. It has a smart outward appearance; Regency in style with small bow windows and well kept window boxes. It gets very busy at lunchtime as the food is very popular. There is a garden, and a London skittle alley downstairs.

Reviews for The Freemasons Arms

The Freemasons Arms is a great ending to a nice day in Hampsted Heath if you’re finishing on the south-west (if you’re heading north-east then Cafe Mozart on Swains Lane is a excellent option too). Very spacious and with a modern, slick finish it serves a variety of beers and ciders. One of the best outdoor spaces in the area and a great kitchen that serves what you’d expect by the ‘Winner of the Sunday Independent/ LBC Gastro Pub of the Year!’. Be prepared to wait for a table on a sunny Sunday afternoon as the place gets very busy. Of course be also prepared to be surrounded by yummy mummies, £500+ baby carts, noisy small children and generally the rest of the Sunday family squad that descends on Hampstead’s surrounding areas on a weekend.
Don’t let that put you off though. The Freemasons is still one of the best places to enjoy a drink and a bite after a hard days navigating the heights of the Heath.
