The White Horse, Hampstead Heath

Went back here recently just to see what the place was like after a four year hiatus. It's not bad, clean and well kept, food was nice, but really... with the abundance of great pubs in Camden and the vicinity offering decent selections of new and different beer and ales, the feeling I got was just, meh. Pretty empty for a weekend, no buzz at all, televisions showing soccer, and other than an acceptable range of four ales on tap, the exact same fare as any other franchised pub in north or south london. Bit of a shame, it's a good looking pub, and i think it has HUGE potential to be a really classy watering hole with some excellent, edgy food and beer on tap or in the bottle. Just feels like a well-presented clone of so many other places dotted around london right now.
