London pubs can want for space, but not The Salisbury up in Harringay. This magnificent Victorian building boasts not only epic space but also carved ceilings, wrought-iron pillars, mosaic floors, leather armchairs, several fireplaces, a stained-glass skylight, a jukebox, and a big wooden bar serving a range of ale and international beer. There is an Asian fusion kitchen called Little Dragon that opens at 5 p.m. on weekdays and 12:30 p.m. on weekends, which serves everything from pork belly and ox cheek to pak choi, chicken noodles, and a Kowloon crunch chicken burger.

Good to see the Grand Old Lady of Green Lanes getting some love.
The write up mentions that The Long Good Friday was filmed there, but omits that David Cronenberg filmed Spider there (starring Ralph Fiennes, Miranda Richardson and Gabriel Byrne).
Also Richard Attenborough's Chaplin with Robert Downey jnr was filmed there. A sign in the window read "Extras Wanted Today - Apply Inside". Alas, I had to go to work!
Another conversation informs me that the Downey scene in the Salisbury was cut. Can’t confirm the veracity, but suspect given the source, it’s right.
Anyone know what’s being filmed in there tonight? Went to go to the quiz and it’s shut for filming a new tv show.
