The Boston Arms (Tufnell Park - London)

The Boston Arms

The Boston arms is a large pub opposite Tufnell park station and it is overflowing with over 40's irish punters slapping thighs and banging glasses to the tunes of a seedy band playing classical songs that I am sure I have never heard before. To say the least I felt out of placebut found a table to the left of the bar and suddenly felt like i was sitting in an american diner. There were drawn blinds accross the windows and booth-like tables around me. I should say it was over crowded but it was loud and it did have a hearty atmosphere in the glow of the fruit machines around us. Drinks were about £1.20 a shot so there was no reason to complain about the price but the toilets were nasty and in a word it felt rather in-bred.

Overall it managed to stay open way past 3am which is impressive for a pub as large as thisbut i did feel out of place and therefore it gets a 4/10.
