The Northumberland Arms is a rather grubby boozer on the King's Cross Road, which usually plays host to bunch of older, male locals. Entertainment comes in the form of a pool table, a juke box and footy on the box, while drink comes courtesy of a handful of generic lagers. You also never know when the drunken urges will compel the regulars to burst into acapella song. Overall, a pretty depressing pub with little to recommend it, barring those with an interest in anthropology.
