Jack Straw's Castle, Grade II listed building in Hampstead, England
Located on North End Way near Heath Street and Spaniards Road, this building features modern residential apartments and a gymnasium within its walls.
The site bears the name of Jack Straw, a leader of the Peasants' Revolt in 1381, who sought refuge here before his capture and execution.
Literary connections include mentions in Bram Stoker's Dracula and Harold Pinter's No Man's Land, plus regular visits from Charles Dickens and William Thackeray.
The structure, rebuilt in 1964 by architect Raymond Erith, transformed from a public house into residential units with fitness facilities in 2002.
The building sustained damage during The Blitz, leading to its complete reconstruction, yet maintains its Grade II listed status and historical significance.
