We had more debate than usual over the legality of this pub as it was not typical of those visited on our crusade so far! We had walked the length of every road in the vicinity to no avail – not a pub (or hooker!) in sight. We had little choice (the pub did offer a range of beers on tap) but we openly admit this venue is on the borderline of qualification. That said, it is well worth a visit if you fancy a change. We ordered our pints and headed upstairs, following the signs to the garden roof terrace. On route we passed a room in which a belly-dancing class was taking place! We were mesmerized by the skill and craft these ladies were displaying. Sadly a passing belly dancer was less than impressed with us gawping and told us so! After finally trying out the roof terrace (enjoyable) and the range of seating possibilities downstairs we gave the barmaid a lingering glance goodbye and deserted (boom boom) the place in favour of Euston Square.
