I've been going the Flat Iron and The Church recently. They're both decent. The Church is massive and has a big downstairs bit that is easy to get a seat if you're there earlyish.
I liked the look of Old Swiss Cottage from outside. Is North Star right beside the station then? I assume if I leave about 3 I'll have loads of time to get to Wembley even with packed trains.
I was thinking of going to Old Swiss Cottage. We're getting National Express down and it stops at Finchley Road at 13.15. Thought it'd be easier than going straight round Wembley.
Hopefully they're just the direct trains. I've booked an 8.25 train that stops at Crewe. Have to wait there for half an hour so hopefully that pub is open.
