The White Lion was quite nice before the refurbishment which happened about 2000. Lots of dark wood in the interior. Quite cosy. As someone commented to me about the time of its refurbishment 'It's like like sterile airport bar now'.

Its understandable the need for parking lead some to turn the front garden into a car park.. Be good to see effort and consideration made to still include borders/ few planters for wildlife in these conversions . <div><span style="font-size: 10pt;"> </span></div>
Are they totally ruled out or is it just hard surfaces (concrete or tarmac). The main issue besides aesthetics is rain water drainage, one of the big influencing factors in the increase in floods of recent years.<div><br></div>
Next door to me didn't pass for off street parking as it took away a disabled parking space from previous dweller and had several objections. For me, I do not want fumes any closer to our front bedroom window than we have to and my kids coming out of our house on daily route to and from school with the hazard of cars moving about.

I’m not overwhelmed by it, but I think mediates between the new building and the old terrace rather well.

No! The opposite side of the new student building. The Robey is locally listed. Islington were, at the end of last year, planning to do a compulsory purchase on it if the developers didn’t pull their finger out.
Yeah that's a good point. It will make a good budget location for visiting London and also do well from the Ally Pally, Emirates and soon to be Finsbury Park event market.<br><br>I wouldn't be surprised if we see more hotels proposed in the coming years.<br>

I'm liking the SHR plan. It looks fairly bog standard modern design but with a few nice touches. I like the turntable idea. Certainly a lot better than the new ones on the corner.<div><br></div>
