The Plimsoll, Finsbury Park, N4

This pub is a little grotty, but I had an enjoyable stay whilst watching the arsenal on the plasma screen and I even had some banter with some of the locals. The landlady was behind the bar on her lonesome and there was some flapping, but she was very friendly and I enjoyed my pints of Guinness. It’s a good sized place with a single bar which is split by a wooden screen with a couple of large doorways incorporated into it. The aforementioned plasma screen is located in the larger side which has a raised area and plenty of seating and in the other section there are a couple of TVs in what would be classed as the public bar. There are no hand pumps, but I got the feeling that this is mainly a football pub for the Finsbury locals who prefer a pint of Fosters. I wouldn’t go out of my way to drink here again.
