We beleive the operatory decided not to renew the lease as business hasn't been good and they had taken quite a hit on trade mainly due to the closure of Kentish Town station for a year.
After a period under the management of the Camden Town Brewery (from Nov 2015) reopened as The Lady Hamilton under the same ownership as the nearby Pineapple and Tapping the Admiral. Two handpumps were installed but cask beer was removed before the pub closed.
From the Camden New Journal, Poppy Wheldon, who manages the pub pub, said: “We wanted to celebrate Lady Emma Hamilton – she was a real Kentish Town celebrity. Men would fall at her feet, and it is great to name a pub after a woman who isn’t a queen. It is the perfect spot for us – exactly between our two other pubs.”
This is as was -
There is an open kitchen which shows the last vestiges of Camden's ownership - white tiles. Elsewhere these tiles have been sensitively replaced to create a much more welcoming pub with the lighting creating a warm atmosphere. The ceiling, dating back to the 1970s, is a nice feature brought to life by the new owners. The decor, especially the framed pictures might best be described as eclectic.
Rebuilt in 1885, it was the Old Farmhouse and then became O'Reillys in 1998, one of the last "Irish pubs" in Camden with a striking old-style interior. This all changed when Camden Town brewery took over.
