I wish to nominate The Flask for an ACV listing since it is a most pleasant and well-supported pub in Hampstead Village and serves a variety of needs. Run by manager Claudia, she puts the customer, the community and her staff at the centre of everything the pub does. The Flask is also one of the very few pubs in London that still retains its original public bar which is in very much demand for TV sports lovers and is also a popular meeting place for the weekly traditional "mens' night out" after work on Fridays. The pub also has three other bar areas, saloon, lounge and conservatory which cater for numerous events over the year such as parties, wedding receptions, quizzes, the occasional jazz session and business meetings/team building awaydays etc. Any potential loss of this iconic and historic community pub in the heart of Hampstead Village would be a tragedy for all concerned, including the vast number of visitors/tourists who flock to the village at all times of the year.
