Even without the toy carts and animal heads looming down over you, there's also a large old-master style fresco on the ceiling to take in, with some of the notable regulars forever immortalised in paint.

Aside from the decoration this is still a noteworthy pub with Thai food on offer, a beer garden for the summer and a piano in the corner for any impromptu sing-a-longs; perhaps fittingly, the sheet music for quite a variety of music hall tunes hangs on the wall. This one offers up a more traditional pub experience than the more loungey bars nearby, and its temperament, clientele and furnishings add up to one of North London's more idiosyncratic boozers.
