Until late 2007 this was a rather unassuming Barracuda chain pub, and had gained something of a bad reputation locally; however, a complete refurbishment and change of ownership has improved the place significantly. The pub is now owned by a much smaller group known as the [[Category Capital Pub Company|Capital Pub Company]], and is run with far more attention to detail. The refurbishment is not revolutionary, but has been smartly done and accentuates the original Victorian decor. There are essentially four different spaces around a central bar ranging from the relatively small front bar to the large, more ornate, saloon bar at the back. The pub is mainly furnished with tables and mix n match chairs, with some armchairs and booths in the side bar. There is also some outdoor seating on the pavement along Lennox Road. |

There is now live music in the back saloon bar every Thursday and Sunday nights, and often a DJ on Saturdays. Major sporting events, including all broadcasted Arsenal fixtures (when the pub can get quite busy due to its proximity to the Emirates Stadium) are shown on plasma screens and on a large projection.
