The Queen's Head was a pub at 144 Stockwell Road, Brixton, London SW9.
It is a Grade II listed building, "of Regency appearance with alterations".
For some time in the 2010s and early 2020s it was a music venue, and is known as where Fat White Family rehearsed, performed, and put on their own night Slide-In.[1] [2] [3] The band Shame also started to rehearse there shortly after.[4]
In November 2014 photos emerged of the then landlord dressed in blackface at a party there, with another guest wearing a Ku Klux Klan costume and performing a Nazi salute, causing public outrage that was reported in the national press.[5]
In September 2015 that landlord gave up the lease and it closed. Soon after it reopened under different management as a gastropub focusing on local ales and food, though still with live music and club nights.[6]
As of January 2024 it closed its doors to the public and is currently boarded up.[7]
