Mirror, signal, manoeuvre

Pub 297. The Signal Box. 31st December 2018.


Camden's newest pub (at time of writing...) opens just in time to see the year out.


£5 a pint for Hophead. Spacious. Full of kids, and railway-esque ornaments.


And an inside beer garden where behind the cages you can relax 'neath the 60s concrete ceiling. But wait... what's that?!


Yup, a British Rail clock! One hopes it's real.


Interestingly though, if you find these things interesting, they originally planned on calling this 'The Firebox'. Maybe it was a bit too steam engine specific too appeal to most who might want an easy train reference in their station pubs nomenclature. Perhaps 'The Firebox' would curry more favour with the patrons in Fuller's other railway themed pub 50m away, a potential arch rival??
