The King Charles I, Kings Cross

Popped into this pub on Thursday night after a break from the area. Still the same geniality, quality beer and this time an impromptu guitar trio broke out in the corner. After a couple of very clean "Tiger" bitters I ended up in conversation with a diverse group of regulars around the bar; budget cuts, psychotherapy, art history to name a few subjects covered; in and out of depth but a real pleasure. If only I had a local like this in the Old Street area, I wouldn't travel to King's Cross, but I don't, so I do. A true gem of what a pub should be.
