The film’s ‘Mother Black Cap’ pub (presumably a conflation of Camden’s Black Cap and Mother Red Cap – now the World’s End), where Withnail (Richard E Grant) orders “Two large gins. Two pints of cider. Ice in the cider”, was until recently one of the Babushka chain. It was briefly relaunched as The Mother Black Cap, but is now Crescent House, 41 Tavistock Crescent at St Mark’s Grove, W11, facing the end of St Luke’s Road. It’s had a radical makeover into a classy restaurant since finding fame as Camden’s woozy old Irish boozer
