St Pancras, and therefore Camden, has a new pub! And it's a Wetherspoons. And already very busy on its opening day. That old Spoons magic!
Of course an estimated 40% of the internet is all about how the vaults under the platforms here were for storing beer barrels from Burton so the name is no surprise, but the couple of lines of Betjeman are a nice tribute to the building's biggest fan, complimenting nicely the shiny-tummy statue and the other pub upstairs. But I wonder what JB would make of Wetherspoons - no match for the village inn, the dear old inn, I imagine he'd say.
Oddly though, there's no signage outside. Keeps out the riff-raff I suppose.
