Roger Button left this review about The British Queen

A rather unappealing pub in a far from glamourous setting, this purpose built estate pub pretty much has do not enter written all over it. Ironically, its somewhat rough and scary reputation usually means that this is one of the few places that you can get served prior to a Spurs match without the need to shoulder charge your way to the bar. To be honest, if you are used to pubs in rough areas then a trip to the British Queen will not prove to be as daunting as some people will have you believe although there is very little of any interest to warrant going there. The beers are standard keg / lagers, the customer base male dominated, most of who look like they are out on day release. The décor is rather dull and run down with plain walls and a bare pine floor beneath a low partly angled ceiling. The interior features the usual run of TVs and fruit machines and also the most distorted and painfully inaudible music I have ever heard in a pub. Like virtually every other pub near the ground on match day, you can expect to hear a medley of Chas N Dave's finest being suitably belted out. I'm afraid that's as good as it gets.
