Take a stroll around this residential patch of NW5 and what first strikes you are the friendly names of the local shops: Maria's Travel and Tours, Rita's Hair and Design and Susan's Mini-Market. As The Torriano is situated amidst such neighbourliness, expectations of a jolly local pub are raised high. And after our most recent visit to the area, we're glad to say we encountered it. There's a mix of chairs and couches, a decent range of drinks and a selection of toasted sandwiches to enjoy. Things are also helped along by the friendly staff and punters. The secluded sunken garden at the back looks a cracking place for the summer, and a real fire means winter times are adequately covered too. A neighbourly little boozer then; worth the wander from Kentish Town to track down (new photo to come - the exterior is now brown).
STOP PRESS: Since August of last year the Torriano was been under serious threat from closure and conversion into (yet more) flats. A campaign is currently underway. It would be a crying pity if this were to happen as there are very few pubs in the area. We'll keep a close eye on developments.
