This is not a bar, it's a pub. It's old, it's dark, they only take cash and they haven't changed the decoration since 1963. Everything a pub should be.

The largest urban park in Europe, it's a long way but well worth a visit. Like going to the countryside without actually going there, loads of animals (three different types of deer) and cafes, it's so big you can forget you're in the city.
