Built in 1860, the pub takes its name from the Battle of Magdala in 1868. It’s also infamous for a darker chapter in history: Ruth Ellis, the last woman hanged in the UK, shot her lover right outside in 1955.

Exquisite leg of lamb roast. Arguably the best I've had in London. Absolutely gorgeous flavours, and I'll say the same for the pan fried sea bass fillet. Exquisitely prepared. Wine selection is great too. Definitely worth a stop if you're visiting Hampstead Heath.

Great traditional pub. Good atmosphere/choice of music, friendly & attentive staff. Sunday roast (lamb/beef) was fabulous & plentiful. In fact so plentiful we couldn’t finish it all, so asked for a doggy bag which was duly supplied! Good choice of cask beers. We’ll certainly be back!
