The Engineer, Primrose Hill

I recently enjoyed a steak here. Good thing too, because it cost almost �20. I could have had 20 hamburgers off the 99p menu at McDonalds (nearby, in Camden) and still had change for 15 minutes on the meter. That's not the point though, is it.

You see, Primrose Hill is an expensive place to live. By default, the pubs have the same 'don't care' attitude as the clientele - which kind of makes an evening observing the relationship between pub and customer like watching a divorce proceeding in progress.

Fancy a pint at the Kravmer vs Kramer?
No thanks.

The Lansdowne, Primrose Hill

It's my local, and it's true what these reviews say. The staff are rude (or beautifully vague) and the pub's not all that. But it can be a laugh on a summer evening. What cracks me up most is how much the very well-heeled locals tread on egg-shells around the manager - it's social valitdation if he knows your name, it would seem.
