The Londesborough, Stoke Newington

I've visited only the once and that was a month or two ago on a Friday night. Although it was thankfully free of designer toddlers (and their smug, "couply" parents), I was still pretty disappointed. My overriding impression was of a vast, noisy, brash and styleless bar for aspiring city-types and football heads. The overly loud (and irritatingly generic) music meant there was no chance of having a decent conversation, and, worst of all, the outdoor space had that nasty chrome furniture.
