The Refectory, Golders Green

I don't think the Refectory pretends to be anything but a basic pub. It was just that when I lived in Golders Green in 1977. Clearly from these postings, little has changed in the subsequent 29 years.

The Little House, Hendon

This pub has had a few names changes over the years.....I first visited in 1977, it was pretty ordinary then. Again visited in 1999 and 2001. It still had little to offer, atmosphere wise. There was a fabulous pub a short walk down the road, The Load of Hay, a Tudor style building, great decor, wonderful atmosphere. Alas, it closed in 2004, and there is housing on the site. A great shame to lose what should have been a building preserved forever.

The Dog and Duck, Winchmore Hill

I'm an Aussie. I lived a few streets away from the Dog and Duck in 1977. It was my local, and was an outstanding pub way back then. So friendly and cosy. I returned in 1999 and 2001 and found little has changed - which is great. no doubt, five years further on, it is just as friendly a place. We used to wash our clothes in the nearby laundromat, then duck into the duck for a pint. Usually, our clothes were very clean !!
