picture of The Salisbury Hotel Once a no-go care in the community pub, this one's been transformed into as good a recreation of as grand a Victorian pub as you're likely to see in London. It's a truly stunning achievement on the décor front but if you stop yourself gawping at the scenery you'll find it works as a practical pub as well. Behind the rebirth is the Remarkable Restaurants group, owners of a number of pubs in north and east London which can be identified by their esoteric jukeboxes (including here Charlie Parker, Led Zeppelin and The Stanley Brothers), stylish food and decent beer. Unlike your Wetherspoon makeovers, the budget hasn't been blown just on the furnishings - there's a little left over for some entertainment for the punters. There's a pub quiz on Mondays and DJs plying their trade later in the week. They've even had a string quartet in. Downsides? Well, if you're being picky the pub may take a bit of effort to get to (it's midway between Manor House and Turnpike Lane tubes), and the service isn't always as quick as we'd like, but if any pub is worth travelling to it's this one. This place is one of the best in North London for a Sunday Roast but make sure you pitch up early to get a seat near the fireside.
