This bar is the perfect destination for after-work drinks. They have happy hour deals every single day and a quiz on a Monday that's always good fun.

An impressive music venue hosting great bands such as Slayer, to Jack White, to the Prodigy!

French and Italian cuisines done well. This restaurant's rustic interior creates the perfect atmosphere for a date night or a catch up with friends. The set menu is great value for money too.

Why not explore the nearby areas of Muswell Hill, Crouch End, Highgate, Hornsey, Bounds Green, Archway, Wood Green, Harringay, Dartmouth Park and Friern Barnet

"Dick Turpin once hid in the cellars of the Flask pub in Highgate."

When you work in Muswell Hill, sometime's it's easy to take views like these for granted...

I love popping out at lunch time to see what Muswell Hill has to offer!

Not only is Alexandra Palace an extraordinary sight, the views from its hilltop position are also exceptional...
