About Us

The Priory Tavern is named after the Kilburn Priory that was founded in 1130, located where the Kilburn High Road meets the Westbourne stream. For centuries, the priory offered rest and refreshment to the local community and travelling Christian pilgrims on the way to the shrines of St Albans Abbey. We are also the pub where George Orwell drank when he wrote Animal Farm in 1942–44. Today, we continue the tradition of welcoming people from near and far, providing a pub full of unique spirit and entertainment, where people come together to enjoy great food, drink, and times.

Run by a passionate team that believes in creating the perfect London pub experience, we pride ourselves on providing a warm, welcoming atmosphere and a pub environment full of character. Our chef team serves up unforgettable food, led by our Head Chef, whose Sunday Roasts are legendary, earning him runner-up in
