Doors 264 – Doors from Highgate, London, November 2023 (Part IV)
This week I am incredibly pressed for time, so this will be a very short entry. My late afternoon doorscursion back in November 2023 through my old ‘manor’, Highgate village, continues in this penultimate collection from North London.
I really wanted to talk about all the pubs in Highgate, because when I was a teenager, all the talk was that Highgate had more pubs on the main street than anywhere else in the country. I have no idea if this was true, but the following is a list of them (all within a few hundred yards), starting halfway down Highgate Hill:
- Brendan the Navigator, used to be called The Old Crown Inn – it has obviously gone up-market.
- The Duke’s Head
- The Angel
- The Prince of Wales
- The Crown
- The Gatehouse (featured below)
- The Flask (featured below)
- The Red Lion and Sun
- The Wrestlers
- The Bull
I hope you enjoy this week’s selection:
If you have made it this far, you probably like doors, and you really ought to take a look at the No Facilities blog by Dan Anton who has taken over the hosting of Thursday Doors from Norm 2.0 blog. Links to more doorscursions can be found in the comments section of Dan Anton’s Thursday Doors post.

What can be better than pub doors? I really like the glass paneled black door at #15. The panel arrangement is interesting. I hope you have some time to relax this weekend.

Absolutely enjoyed all these doors! I like the blue door and the interesting door with the sunken entrance and the great fan/shell sculpture above.

I do like your blue door with the lion knocker and the black door with the CHESTERFIELD emblazoned above.

I like the blue door too, although the lower two panels don’t look right to me.

Because the uppers appear more prominent? I see that. At first, I thought there were no panels at the bottom.
