We have our 'leaving London' party this weekend and it couldn't have gone better. We had the best time at the WhiteCross Tap. - The location is great, 5mins from Old St tube - The pub is so nice inside - we hadn't been before booking the party and were sooo impressed with it, such great value that we had the whole bar booked - Tom and Carl who manage the pub were great hosts We'd recommend it to anyone.

No dislikes.
