The Golden Lion, Camden Town, NW1

I walked into here and was greeted by the very friendly landlady just as one of the locals selected Mull of Kintyre on the jukebox. I thought that I had stepped back in time, especially after spotting the old ‘Open all Hours' type tills behind the bar. There is a pool table and a dartboard in this long thin bar, not that anyone was playing. The toilets could do with a bit of a scrub as I was very glad to exit them after having a very quick leak. There are four old hand pumps in this pub, one of which was displaying a clip for Toby cask, but alas they do not sell any real ale. I'm not sure what the clip is there for, but there is a standard draught selection and my pint of Guinness was spot on. This is a decent enough pub if you like your old Irish boozers, which I do so I would go back again if passing.
