Doors 264 - Doors from Highgate, London, November 2023 (Part IV)
This week I am incredibly pressed for time, so this will be a very short entry. My late afternoon doorscursion back in November 2023 through my old 'manor', Highgate village, continues in this penultimate collection from North London.
I really wanted to talk about all the pubs in Highgate, because when I was a teenager, all the talk was that Highgate had more pubs on the main street than anywhere else in the country. I have no idea if this was true, but the following is a list of them (all within a few hundred yards), starting halfway down Highgate Hill:
Brendan the Navigator, used to be called The Old Crown Inn - it has obviously gone up-market.
The Duke's Head
The Angel
The Prince of Wales
The Crown
The Gatehouse (featured below)
The Flask (featured below)
The Red Lion and Sun
The Wrestlers
The Bull
I hope you enjoy this week's selection:
