| Splendid place. It's not really worth a long trip but if you are a local looking for a proper local, this place is spot on. It gets a wee bit busy on match days but is also a great place to watch the Arsenal games if, like most, you've been forced out of going to games by the Range Rover set that come in from the Home Counties. Whilst unashamedly an Arsenal pub, it's not a football pub per se, so you'll thoroughly enjoy a pint there without having to share your environment with yoofs or the normal idiots you find on Upper Street on any given night.

| Hard to argue with the previous comments - a good simple pub with no real weakneses. Amazing how few of them now exist. Football is shown but does not dominate. As it should be... whatbill - 6 Feb 2009 16:02 |
| Scores highly for the presence of good-local atmosphere, conversation, locals 'nice dogs, well-kept ale (Bomber County guest beer), good range of bar nibbles, TV available but at low-volume and a range of interesting bar snacks - and the absence of lagered yoofs, piped music, fruit machines and stenchy 'pub grub'. A real pub and a must if in the area if not worth a long trip. strongarm - 19 Jan 2009 11:56 |
| Nice, even tough the pub was packed with people it wasn´t hard to order or find a place to enjoy our Abbot Ale, mainly because everyone behaved in a nice and friendly manner towards each other. solidrock - 19 Nov 2008 08:09 |
| If you're a history or literature buff, you might like to know this was George Orwell's local when he lived in London. HK_Sojourner - 30 Oct 2008 10:55 |
