Scene from the film 'Villain' (1971) that was filmed in The Assembly House, 292-294 Kentish Town Road, #KentishTown, #London

Take a look at the stunning interior of the Assembly House (@assemblyNW5) and the wonderful vibe depicted in this short clip. Though the film may raise an essence of nostalgia to some, the pubs appearance and ambiance will connect with many more.

"Villain is a 1971 British gangster film directed by Michael Tuchner and starring #RichardBurton, Ian McShane, #NigelDavenport and Donald Sinden. It is based on #JamesBarlow's 1968 novel The Burden of Proof. Villain was director #MichaelTuchner's first feature film after directing in television

As with other films of Villain's same era and genre (#GetCarter (1971), A #ClockworkOrange (1971) and Performance (1970), for example), some of the violence is quite graphic, especially during the heist scene, and it foreshadows several 1970s cop TV shows such as The Sweeney, Target and Special Branch."

The interior or the 'Turners Old Star' is a true delight.

What a fantastic fireplace! The padding allows one to keep warm in comfort. The Swan @ SwanHydePark (66 Bayswater Rd, #London #W2) which sits beside #HydePark is one of the few to possess such a lovely feature.

#Brentford High Street - A Tragic Tale Of Pub Decline - Including Alfred Pearce's Poem On Brentford's Pubs

The example of Brentford's loss of Pubs is a frightening insight into the future of a very bland #Britain. The once bustling high street served the many dockers and traders who brought the place to life. Like most places in #London and it's suburbs, we've too many lost tales to ever truly tell. ๐Ÿป
