Beyond expectations
Recently refurbished, Paradise by way of Kensal Green lives up to its name. The interior is vintage chic, understated in its quirkiness and theatricality. It's laid back and cool, perfect for lively Friday nights and chilling out with friends on a Sunday afternoon. The food is good too - British pub grub very well done. They do a delicious roast on a Sunday and the pan fried sea bass is worth the trek to North West London. It's a fantastic place to go with a group of friends or for a romantic dinner. Give this utopian treat a try.

Beyond expectations
What an incredible place.
At first glance this is a fairly normal 'gastro' pub in a fairly out-of-the-way location, but somehow the threadbare furniture and quirky Dickensian library feel of the place goes so much more than most.
The place is very charming, and feels much more exciting than typical pubs of this ilk. At weekends the upstairs 'club' area is heaving with people from all over London - not just Kensal Green - dancing to superb retro music.
Though not a smoker, it seems that it is important to think about the smoking area, since if you're like me then you'll end up having to spend as much time there as you will inside. So I'm pleased to say that this place has a great outdoor space which is filled with rusty vintage furniture.
So in sum, while it's fairly unlikely you'll ever happen to be in Kensal Green, Paradise is more than worth a trip to spend an entire evening.
