The Engineer – A Historic London Pub

One of Primrose Hill’s most iconic pubs, The Engineer has been a favourite haunt of North London’s politicians, actors, and comedians for years.

Named after legendary civil engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel, this historic pub dates back to the 1800s. Brunel’s silhouette still graces the pub’s sign, a nod to his pioneering work on the Great Western Railway and Thames Tunnel.

Blending period charm with modern touches, The Engineer offers a stunning Brunel Dining Room, a cosy private dining space, and a hidden gem – its walled beer garden. Whether you're after a leisurely lunch, alfresco drinks, or a relaxed evening, our garden oasis is the perfect escape.
