A good innings

The Compton Arms, Highbury, London, N1 2XD
Came in here to watch England surprisingly trounce the Aussies in the twenty20 world cup final and it was a good place to go and watch sport, made sweeter by the fact that me and my friend were only English people in there surrounded by antipodeans baying for English blood.
It's a place which retains an old fashioned country pub feel, the beer selection was quite poor but if it's full of Aussie's all the time most of there sales will no doubt be watery lager and Magner's cider. I went for the only available real ale which was Holden's Golden Glow and it was actually a really good pint, very refreshing and summery - I stayed on it for the whole time we were there and would have it again, shame there wasn't anything else worth trying. Will probably only come back here to watch sport as nothing else stood out about here.
