A substantial Victorian pub, at the corner of Kentish Town Road and Leighton Road. I don't know what Professor Pevsner made of this building, but he might have thought the roof-line 'rather improbable', with its Frenchifications. Just beyond the Assembly House, the main road forks, the left-hand branch being Highgate Road, leading to Highgate West Hill, while - to the right - Fortess Road leads to the Archway Road. The elegant swan-necked lamp standard looks as if it's been there a long while, but take a look at Ben Brooksbank's view, taken in 1955: Image
