It probably looked good on paper: get rid of the old market and replace it with (to use construction company lingo) a 'vibrant mix of leisure and retail units'. So, now opposite Wood Green tube, local residents have to endure the gangs of kids and alcoholics who congregate outside this monstrosity of a building which houses a Chav's utopia that includes Wood Green's second cinema, a Yates's bar, McDonald's and this branch of Wetherspoon. During the day, this one is popular with cinemagoers, shoppers, the retired and the unemployed. In the evening it also begins to include those whose final destination is the nightmare known as Yates's, but who want a few cheap drinks first. As such, the place has a rough transient feel, not helped by the dismissive service. All in all, drinking here is thoroughly depressing and the place itself ugly, uninspired and unpleasant.
