Black Lion - The best deal in town

The session is a loose network of beer bloggers where they focus on a common theme. Rick Lyke has handed out this task for today:

Your assignment for The Session #7 is to go on a beer safari and help stock our Brew Zoo with animals large and small. This is one hunt that even PETA should not protest.

My contribution is not a beer nor a brewery, but a pub. The Black Lion in Kilburn, London. It is a so called gastropub, which means that it has an empasis on food. I can heartily recommend their Cumberland sausages, but check out the rest of their menu as well. 

Their beer range is not too inventive, though the Adnams Broadside is well kept, and you can have a Bombardier as well.

The interior is stunningly restored, it must be one of the most beautiful pubs in London.

But the real secret I can reveal is that it is the best value accommodation for single travellers I have managed to find in London. £ 33 per night in a big, airy room. Including breakfast and wi-fi.

It is a little out of the way, but there are a number of underground and rail stations within walking distance.

But please do not book all the rooms during the first week of December, OK?
