Hackney’s The Kenton pub was named London’s ‘most-loved pub’ at the second Love London Awards ceremony on November 9.
Hosted by Time Out magazine, the publication praised the pub on Kenton Road in North East Hackney for its ability to remain cutting edge while managing “to resist the novelty bandwagons.” It praised the pub’s “curatorial approach to trends” and attributed it to The Kenton’s “enduring appeal”.
