The Malt and Hops, North Finchley

Great boozer, in the traditional sense. Nothing has been changed in The Hops since about 1924 but thats part of the charm

I've been a regular there for about 5 years and can't see that changing- unless the Stella gets to �5 a pint- which will probably be next year

Friendly regulars, great juke box (which the landlord lets me keep a couple of my own Eighties mixes on), big screen for the Rugby (or Football, if you're that way inclined). Also a great recruitment policy for bar staff which favours the more attractive ladies
