Live Music Night

King William IV brings free live music to Hampstead High Street mid-week, catching the crowd that skips the weekend crush. Eight o'clock start means you can arrive straight from work or make an evening of it without the late-night commitment.

The pub sits on one of North London's smartest high streets, drawing locals and people passing through. Free entry keeps it unpretentious; you're there for the music and the company, not your wallet. Mid-week live gigs tend toward the intimate, smaller lineups, better conversation, the kind of room where the band can actually hear the bar.
