Local record

History of this pub

The Travellers Rest faced Kenton station across Kenton Road, and a pub here goes back further than most Beefeaters: it appears as the Rest Hotel on the 1914 Ordnance Survey map. The present building was rebuilt in 1933, and CAMRA records that on opening it claimed to be the largest public house in Middlesex. In later years it was a large Beefeater steakhouse with a separate bar and a Premier Inn attached.
