From an email sent by the operatros - "27/08/24 - Temporary Closure Announcement. Hey , We wanted to let you know that The Grafton will be temporarily closed as of tomorrow Tuesday 27th August." No indication of why or when it might reopen.

Oct 2023 - The Northern Lane station is closed until Easter next year - Thameslink overland still ok Tufnell Park is probably the best alternative tube. Or simply walk from Kentish Town West.

Report from a potential customer, "On Friday 11.11.22 the only beer on was Landlord. I left. Walked past later and that was off too!"

Revitalised by energetic young tenants who retired from the pub at the start of 2017, it is now operated by Hippo Inns. This very popular pub re-opened in Autumn 2012, a traditional refurbishment making the most of the historic building's beautiful Victorian features, combining a traditional pub feel with many contemporary touches.

Specialising in cask beer from local breweries the pub is a member of CAMRA's LocAle scheme. Food served every day. There are board games to while away the time and a piano. The ground floor is very spacious; with an impressive, partly-tiled horseshoe bar it has the feel of many different seating areas.

There is an upstairs bar with function room available (no real ale) for up to 100 people, and an elegant covered roof garden. The management and bar staff are very friendly and knowledgeable about their products. Popular quiz Tues nights and occasional comedy nights.
