The Old White Lion, East Finchley

Good enough but The Stag is better. Having said that The Stag does have its fair share of annoying locals - such as the chap who sits at the bar every afternoon drinking lager followed by rose wine. He's an odd little fella - he only seems capable of speaking to bar staff and, despite wearing Nike trainers and being in his 40s with a notable bald patch, still thinks he is God's gift (think a plumper version of Dev on Corrie). Anyways I digress.....actually now I come to think of it I may start going to the White Lion to avoid him. If you know who he is post something on here......

The Dick Turpin, East Finchley

If you are after a true local - you have found it. Young media types are as welcome as OAPs - everyone is friendly and there is always someone to chat with. Or, if you prefer, enjoy a quiet drink with your friends. Can't recommend this place enough - a true gem. All those people lucky enough to live near it (ie: in those posh two bed two bath type flats) don't know how lucky they are! I have to walk 1.5 miles to get here but it's still worth it!
