An otherwise unremarkable pub can suddenly take on a new appearance when it, by default, becomes the best place to drink in an otherwise barren area. Ultimately doing nothing wrong, it's a large open pub, with a raised seating area to one side. It's never totally full, nor empty, serves average but perfectly edible food, has a reasonable beer selection, and a large screen showing the usual football fixtures. Basically, it's a comfortable place for the locals, or those who have come down to visit the wonders of, er, Finchley Road.
