inspired by Martin's off-the-radar clubs thread i thought it would be good to get a dodgy pub discussion going... Although hundreds of pubs close every year or become wetherspooned there must still be a fair few grim ones knocking around??
I'll kick off with the Queen's Head on the corner of turnpike lane by duckett's common (North London).. this place is nuts.. walk past on a friday or saturday night and see various african,cypriot,turkish,eastern european guys (and girls) hanging around moodily (often spilling out into the used car yard next door) and smoking massive amounts of weed whilst really loud dancehall is blasted out of the pub.. definitely an international petty criminal convention feel about the place. My mate got pushed off his bike while cycling past it a few months ago and ambulanes are pretty standard at the weekend. A freind of a friend's brother works in there and is apprantly good frinds with the albanian pimp that works the area:slanted: It used to be just a fairly crappy pub but it's dodgy factor has definitely rocketed in the last couple of years
