North Nineteen, Holloway

This is the perfect local.
Landlord keen to make relationships with regulars, without being intrusive.
An incredibly cooked and very well made menu (most things under �10).
A wide range of wines, ales AND ciders (the really cloudy Somerset stuff particularly good).
A fireplace, regular football put on quietly at weekends, friendly punters.
As locals go, this ticks all the boxes, I just pray it doesn't go out of business, the way of some other small locals...

The St Johns Tavern, Archway

Good atmosphere, good food, good drinks selection (particularly strong wine list).

The Barley Mow, Englefield Green

This is one of those pubs that seems to change with the weather.
On a sunny day, for some thirsty beer drinkers, this is one of the nicest pubs for miles around to spend a couple of hours relaxing and talking. I can't speak for the food, but service has massively improved (fast staff turnover) and I recommend it heartily.
