hondo . left this review about The Flying Scotsman
Not sure if eta was in this Flying Scotsman or another bar. Exterior with no windows gives an initial impression that it's shut. A dark interior with a central island bar serving a standard draught selection. 2 young ladies asked if I wanted them to dance for me(don't think it was my dour Scottish Presbyterian charm that attracted them) but it was a bit early for that sort of thing. Still nice to see a place like this surviving the gentrification that seems so prevalent.

Now a student bar with no real ale. There are two bar areas, which appear to be originally the ground floors of two adjacent houses. Other than this interesting architectural anomaly, I really don't see any reason to return.

This is a strippers pub. Bit rough inside, bare floor no real ale and the price of Guinness is over £3.30.

Ah, the Flying Scotsman, a Kings Cross institution and long may it remain so, however much the area is developed and sanitised for the hoards of tourists everyone seems to be expecting to arrive on Eurostar. Every couple of years I check it out expecting to see it closed and whilst it always looks boarded up the door to London's seedy side is always open. It's a truly appalling pub of course but as so much of Kings Cross seems intent on rushing headlong into a brave new world the Flying Scotsman reminds us of it's ignoble past.
