The inn at the top of Hampstead Heath where Seward and Van Helsing dine, among a crowd of bicyclists, before their night in the churchyard. Rebuilt in 1964 after the war, it closed as a pub in 2002 and is now flats.

We dined at “Jack Straw’s Castle” along with a little crowd of bicyclists and others who were genially noisy.
