Randomness Guide to London Menu

Formerly known as The Blacking Bottle, this is a large but friendly pub fairly near Edgware Station.

Inside, there's an open area in front of the bar, and a number of cosy booths off to the side. Patterned carpet on the floor, and quite a lot of dark wood panelling and mirrors.

When Kat and Rick visited in August 2007, well-kept London Pride was available. However, by the time of Kake and Katie's visit in September 2008, they'd given up on selling real ale, although three handpumps were still visible; the chap behind the bar told us they just hadn't been able to sell enough of it. We had Strongbow instead (£2.75/pint).

A sign spotted in September 2008 advertised live music every Saturday.

Accessibility: Shallow step at the entrance which has been smoothed over to make a short but steep ramp. We saw someone come up it in a power chair, but unsure about how a manual wheelchair would cope with it. Didn't see an accessible toilet, and the doorway into the ladies' is a bit narrow.
