But the room is nice, the sofas have a an appeal, and I like the way that being essentially a hotel bar, it's not heaving even on a Saturday night. That part of London - Cricklewood and Willesden, where I live - is a pretty barren area for pubs of course. Time was when the Beaten Docket (which used to be nicer than it is now) was the only pub I'd go in. That's gone downhill since, with all its plinky gambling machines, and nothing really good has replaced it. But the Queensbury near Willesden Green station is pleasant (though it has no real beer) and there's this Crown hotel too. I've seen the Windmill - I must try it, yes! Should I buy you a beer there? Not my fave either, Liane. But the room is nice, the sofas have a an appeal, and I like the way that being essentially a hotel bar, it’s not heaving even on a Saturday night.

It is okay, though not my fav pub. Have you checked out the newly revamped Windmill? It's a bit cozier and 'pub like'... I live right around the corner from the Crown.
