On Sunday, we decided to avoid the worst of the weather by not venturing much further than our local cinema in Islington. Finding ourselves with a few minutes to kill before the film, we stopped for a quick drink in Islington’s very own suburban townie themed pub, the sub-Weatherspoons establishment at the top of the N1 shopping centre that offers all the fun of Croydon without having to leave central London. On Sunday it offered an interesting cross-section of customers, along with 2-4-1 drinks offers and specials on Archers and WKD, and even came complete with a gang of tracksuited, burberry-clad 13 year olds bothering the bouncer outside.
Charming.
