Jack Straw's Castle / NW3

Architect: Raymond Erith, 1963, the previous public house building having been bomb-damaged in WW2. Timber frame on brick plinth in the style of a C18th coaching inn. Remembered by many, including me, as a busy pub on the edge of Hampstead Heath. But sadly, despite its Grade II listing, it has now been converted into luxury apartments. London Borough of Camden.
