The Old Kings Head Pub

Out the front of this pub the venue looks like a chain pub, shiny and new with a name dreamt up by a landlord with the creative mind of a brick of MDF. Inside however, the pub reveals a rounded bar, sitting towards the back, a small stage area to the left with wide, woody-acoustics and reasonable capacity. The gem lies at the very back of the pub as a separate room with wonderful interior. In a few words it is a very ornate viewing room for the football. The room is very square with high leather backed benches running along the walls, setup as booths with decoration and etchings that make you feel a little like you are sitting in the house of commons. Very dark in colour and with old style spotlights lighting the place up you can see more than an appeal to this place.

Surprisingly the people here do not match up with the furniture, they are average hackney and Holloway blood with a hint of Irish thrown in, expect boisterous bar service, cackling and authentic Irish crisps - 6/10
