A few weeks ago I witnessed a man on a moped snatch a phone from a woman waiting to cross Hanley road at the crossing between the Old Dairy and the doctors surgery. He had no regard for the rules of the road, went through red lights, grabbed the pho…
Really decent pub. I agee with the comments regarding the lackadaisical service but the prices are quite acceptable. Remember this is now a pub focusing on craft beer and that's how much it costs. If you don't like it, suggest you go to the Stapleto…
Uber drivers most certainly do pay tax, and typically earn 75% of the fare which is fully tracked and recorded via uber's system. By contrast, when asking for a fare receipt from a black cab driver, it is common practice for them to offer of a coupl…
Very reassuring to see people list my favourites. Molens Hollywood and Hamlet are all good. I also hear good things about blighty coffee. My favourite used to be Mega Cafe and while I was sad to see it go it is now a very good vietnamese bistro. I'v…
Well I suppose McDonald's can be healthy if you go for the salad and hold the dressing. I mean are there really that many kids clogging up the cafés of Stroud green? Not in my experience. Crouch End is a different story of course, but fortunately we…
Yes I've noticed more Street drinking. But will they still be doing that come winter? We will see. I disagree it's slipping back though. Nandos has just had a rather nice refit for instance!
You can't excuse violence Doug, especially not when it's targeted against someone because of their views (regardless of how deluded we might think that person is)
I went in smart design yesterday. A short back and sides cost me £13, which I thought was reasonable given his diligent approach. Best haircut I've ever had? No. Best so far discovered for the money in the area between Finsbury Park Station and crou…
I'm not convinced that we live in the right environment to keep dogs to be honest. Most breeds (except toys) need more exercise and garden space than they can get around here. I reckon if you want to have anything other than a lap dog, move to the s…
I'm still on the lookout for Katherine Ryan and Henning Wenn. Both excellent comedians and both live in crouch end but regularly exit the tube at F Park so I'm told (Ryan's a big fan of Street N4)
Sadosan mate go and look at beam cafe or coffee cake in crouch end then basically make the blue owl like that. Boulangerie and front room also shining examples
Yeah pretty bog standard to be honest. An improvement on the tatty old dream river but somehow this doesn't quite hit the mark. I think it needs a better layout of furniture and some nice tempting cakes in the display chiller (it was pretty much emp…
Agreed. I went in again at the end of last week and the music was good and at the right level, the barman knew what he was doing and the neck oil was spot on!
Myself and my friends thoroughly enjoyed the food. The lamb, the crab croquettes and the ham hock were the standouts, although the price is pitched a little too high in my opinion.
The music was too loud, but that might have been because they had a …
I grew up in Surrey so I've never quite overcome my country boy softness. However I didn't like the people in there one bit. Also, nothing interesting on the taps. Hopefully that is about to change
I've got nothing against having a mixture of places and people but our opinions on that pub clearly differ. On my last visit in 2009 one punter tried to head butt my friend. He was just standing at the bar waiting to get served. Then in 2011 a young…
Thank goodness this pub is finally getting smartened up. The place used to be jam packed with chavs and the atmosphere on my infrequent visits was nothing short of threatening. I believe several people have been stabbed in or near that pub over the …
Sorry to hear that. Their food is mediocre at best anyway. Next time you want a nice sit down I suggest yak and yeti or Bilash in crouch end. For takeaway it's hard to beat yak and yeti Tiffin Tin or Indigo on Hornsey road. Some say Dhonia too but I…
To my mind this station needs step free access, whatever the disruption may be. The Victirian underground network is long overdue an upgrade in this regard and I don't care what problems this causes in the short term.
