    <p>Thought thsi was about right:</p><p> "Plastic chairs, basic tables and zero soft furnishings make your session feel a little like a piss-up in a Scout hall"</p><p> </p>

    Well, it's a 5-way junction, & there's only one charity shop, but otherwise it's pretty on target. Never seen a woggle, though.

    I took issue with the charity shop remark too. They it make sound like a slightly shabby area with nowhere else to go. Clearly written by someone on a day trip from South London.

    Agreed re decor, but, i really dig the place, good people 20, TWENTY craft beer taps! Shame the food has gone down hill. But still my preferred local.

    Only 18. 2 of the taps are for us Philistines who prefer cider... :)

    Bottom part of Crouch Hill is becoming little Dalston

    Great map, Papa L! I was mildly amused to see Muswell Hill used to be known as Muscle Hill.

    It is a great map - I've added it to the Old Maps thread for posterity.<div><br></div>

    It is a good map. That's Stapleton Hall and Japan House in it I think. Found another really good one I will post too in Old Maps
