A London pub that appeared in a Harry Potter film has reopened after four years and a £1.35m refurbishment. The Fox in Palmers Green, North London, has undergone a complete makeover, with new décor, quality food and drink, live sports and a function room.
Star Pubs & Bars which owns The Fox, has revealed the reopening has created 20 new jobs under the leadership of manager Tony Curran. The investment in The Fox on Green Lanes was undertaken by Heineken-owned Star Pubs & Bars and experienced operator Austin Whelan.
MyLondon says that while there has been an inn called The Fox on the site for over 300 years, the current pub was built in 1904. Its claims to fame include appearing in the film Harry Potter & the Prisoner of Azkaban when Harry is whisked through the streets of London on the Knight Bus to get to the Leaky Cauldron.
