About The Corrib Rest
The Corrib Rest sits at the historic intersection of tradition and transformation in Queen's Park, London. Located at 76-78 Salusbury Road, this site has evolved from a well-known Irish pub to a vibrant ICMP Queen's Park Campus music school and cultural hub. The upstairs function room serves as an arts centre-style space, reflecting its large interior and community spirit. If you’re seeking a versatile venue with a local Irish heritage and modern educational use, The Corrib Rest offers a unique backdrop for events, performances, and gatherings in Northwest London.
Note: The pub closed in February 2015, but redevelopment was approved in January 2021, and the site reopened in September 2021 as part of ICMP. The venue remains a cornerstone for Irish community events, weddings, christenings, wakes, and local group activities, with spaces suitable for both intimate and larger gatherings.
