The Tollington, Holloway

Used to be a really tatty "old man's pub" - holes in the floor, hostile staff, etc. Recently received a make-over into an identikit Greene King place. A couple of Greene King real ales, a reasonable Thai kitchen, lots of trendy scrubbed wood and now a mecca for anyone emerging from the Sobell Sports centre over the road. Loads of outside space too (nice view of the traffic), but it's pretty small inside. Also, hardly any of the staff speak English and seem not to have worked in a pub before. Still, it's only been open a couple of weeks so things can only improve.
