picture of Northumberland Arms
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.

second opinion:

Your comments above appear incorrect, as the Camden award was given to the Northumberland Arms on Tottenham Ct Rd, not this one. In the opinion of someone who lives nearby, whilst it's a great looking building from the outside, I would be shocked if this pub received any kind of award - unless the criteria was based on having a characterless interior resembling a school hall, with clientelle made up almost entirely of fairly rough looking, middle-old aged men. On the plus side, I think the beer is fairly cheap so ideal for those who want to drink themselves and the morning/day/night away ...
only one comment, so far on this pub - why not add your own?
