Copenhagen House
Copenhagen House was a famous tavern & tea-garden which stood in what is now Copenhagen Park, N7, from early 17th century until 1855. The name either comes from the King of Denmark who stayed in the house during a state visit in 1606, or the Danish ambassador during the 1665 London plague

EDITORS COMMENTS
Copenhagen House: A Glimpse into London's Historical Past This evocative image transports us back in time to the early 17th century, where the bustling heart of London's North London district, now known as Kentish Town, was home to Copenhagen House. Nestled in what is now Copenhagen Park, N7, this famous tavern and tea garden was a beloved establishment that captivated the community for centuries. The name Copenhagen House holds a rich history, with two intriguing origins. Some believe that it was named after King Christian IV of Denmark, who stayed in the house during a state visit to London in 1606. Others argue that it was named after the Danish ambassador who resided there during the 1665 London plague. Regardless of its origin, this historic house was a beacon of warmth and hospitality in a time when such comforts were in short supply. The scene depicted in this photograph is a tranquil one, with the ivy-covered walls of Copenhagen House standing proudly amidst the lush greenery of the park. The tavern's inviting doorway, adorned with intricate carvings, beckons visitors to step inside and enjoy a respite from the hustle and bustle of the city. The tea garden, with its neatly arranged tables and chairs, offers a picturesque setting for friends and family to gather and share a moment of camaraderie. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the rich tapestry of history that surrounds us, and the stories that lie hidden within the walls of London's historic buildings. Copenhagen House may no longer stand, but its legacy lives on, a testament to the enduring spirit of London's past.
