Pokey Little Pub 
A very pokey little pub around the corner from the high street. It's ok as a pub but it just doesn't have a good atmosphere. It's mostly a young crowd here but its rarely ever busy I find. They do have a Karaoke and Quiz Night midweek but I find this is mostly swamped by the employees of safeways around the corner. Drinks are cheap but the selection is not huge. I've only been on a weekday so it might be better on a weekend but i wouldn't make an effort to go here again.

Bland Crouch End Pub
An ok pub on the road down to the centre of crouch end. Its quiet and doesnt have an atmosphere. Just a bland average old pub with cheap(ish) beers. If you are looking for a quiet drink in crouch end then go here. They have a food menu as well which looks reasonable. As long as you go here not looking for anything special you should be fine with this pub.

Review of PizzaExpress

Slow and forgetful staff ruin this place
A very small dimly lit restaurant. The menu choice as usual at pizza express was quite varied with a wide range of pastas and pizzas. The wine list was fair with prices around average for a bottle of house wine. However service at this particular restaurant was poor with the initial waitress taking our order and then seemingly forgetting us. The 2nd waitress however did remember to bring our orders however service was very slow. Not the best of the franchise.

Highbury's Weatherspoons
Another weatherspoons pub, about 30 seconds walk away from the Highbury and Islington tube. Busy on a friday and saturday which is the only time when it has any atmosphere. As with all weatherspoons its cheap and clean compared to a lot of other pubs but on weekdays its quiet and soulless. Its not a bad pub, it just doesnt have any character about it or anything different about it. If you do go, go for an early pint on a friday or saturday evening.

Review of Lees

Small and friendly, but something doesn't feel right
Based in a small shed down Hornsey Road, Lees Lettings is a unique estate agents. Friendly and laid back, Lee himself is a quality guy and a good laugh. This unfortunately doesn't mean the business is good. Small and compact, there is something wrong about this place. Almost like you are being hurried through, often the emphasis isn't on the buyer but more on the seller. To me, that's not what an estate agents should be like. Something just doesn't click when you use this place, and that is a shame. Led by the friendly Lee, it has potential, but the attitude isn't perfect.
