The Winchester, Highgate

The Winchester

The Winchester is a public house in Highgate, London. It was built in 1881 as the Winchester Tavern, and later became the Winchester Hall Hotel. The name derives from Winchester Hall, a nearby late 17th-century mansion.^[1] The pub has featured on the Campaign for Real Ale's National Inventory of Historic Pub Interiors.^[1]

In early 2016, locals campaigned to save the pub from a proposed residential redevelopment.^[2] The campaign was successful, and the old building frontage remains undeveloped. The Winchester ceased operations as a pub in 2016, but reopened in 2022.^[3]
