Friendly enough pub and indeed quite lively in the evenings. Sadly no ales and I gather various threats from property developers threaten the pub's future but for what it's worth a decent boozer and cosy place to sit for a few hours. Better than expected.

I haven't been in here for a while, but used to visit now and again when I was down from Glasgow and I was living in Tufnell Park area just down the road. Always found the Leighton Arms was okay. I was only ever in on week nights, so I found it pretty quiet.

Contrary to the previous reviews I found this pub to be quite unfriendly and I regretted walking in. I got the feeling that it mainly caters for the local estates and anyone that is not a local is treated with suspicion. I gave up trying to get to the bar as a particularly unfriendly family of deadbeats blocked one side of it and I cut my losses after a couple of minutes and slinked out.
There are two hand pumps, one of which was unused and the Pride on the other one was off. There is also a selection of standard lagers available.
There is a pool table and a dart board out the back before reaching a reasonably sized beer garden for the area.
I�ll certainly not be returning here again.

To answer my own question, it was shut for refurbishment but has been reopen for a while. Haven't been in since it was done up but it looks much better from outside than it did.
|
Is this place still open?
