Golden Lion, Camden
Lovely old-school pub in Camden, well away from the drug dealers and dogs on strings found at Camden High Street. Mainly noted for the regular Sunday afternoon country/soul/blues event Come Down and Meet the Folks, organised by "big Steve" of The Arlenes (he'll be the tall blonde guy in the Hawaiian shirt). Really friendly vibes and often great music too.
