A historic pub is relaunching complete with a secret garden and a hidden karaoke room.

The Gipsy Queen in Malden Road, Kentish Town, has undergone a revamp and will be relaunching on October 18.

The pub, which dates back to 1884, has been given a modern twist, with live music as well as a hidden karaoke room. 

The space has been reimagined and revitalised with a new look and an updated menu.

The pub has been brought into the 21st century in a project run by Christian Arden, who has worked with Po Na Na and Chicago Rib Shack, and Stevie Thomas, co-founder of The Rum Kitchen and director of The Jam House in Birmingham.

The refurbishment has been spearheaded by BuckworthCo, known for building venues in Byron Bay, Australia.

The refurbishment was carried out during the days over the summer, with everything packed away by 6pm for customers to enjoy.

Stevie added: "The result is a neighbourhood pub and cocktail bar with a secret garden, hidden karaoke and pool room, designed to evoke the olde-world charm of forgotten gypsy stories and tarot card games, all within warmly lit, art-adorned rooms."

A quarterly street food pop-up kitchen has been introduced with a focus on using local and seasonal foods and an emphasis on sustainability.

The current pop-up host, Haveli, will be serving Indian street food until November 3.

Supper clubs, comedy shows, quiz nights, and monthly live music gigs are also listed among a programme of events. 

Current offers include Unhappy Hour – 666: 6 cocktails for £6 each from 6pm, Monday to Friday and £5 spicy margs – available all day, every day.

Stevie added: "For over 150 years, The Gipsy Queen has been a beloved fixture in the Kentish Town community, attracting both loyal locals and discreet celebrities.

"Recognising its historical significance, Christian Arden and Ben Abrahams of Parker Pub Co. have taken great care to restore the venue to its former glory, a rustic, laid-back feel with subtle touches of surrealism, darkness, and glamour. "
