The next leg of our north London Piccadilly run saw us bowl up at this poncily named bar, the poshest of the evening. Obviously a converted "proper" pub (there is evidence of the old pub stained glass windows), this place is now aiming at the young hip crowd and luckily for us is the sort of place slightly classy women go to drink large glasses of white wine and fall over. During the time we were there, the pretty barmaid came around lighting a candle on each table, even the ones bursting with testosterone such as ours (for instance). This place is opposite London Metropolitan University and so there were plenty of students in without getting the binge drinking crowd. But without doubt the highlight was a dark haired young lady with a big cleavage and a leopard skin print coat and short skirt tottering out in her FM boots. Enough to warrant a good review by herself. Now time for a trip towards Highbury to see what pre-match pubs were available for Gooners at Arsenal...


Aw!!! ain't the flowers pretty!?
