Propa pub!

Me likey! The Oxford Arms is a proper, no nonsense boozer.It's undeniable that it needs a clean, the staff need a kick up the jack, and the landlord has a bit of an attitude, but meh! It's worth it!There are a few pumps, but only ever London Pride on. It's invariably a good pint too. Then you'll find our usual bog standard selection of lagers, 'bows, and Guinness.I wouldn't eat there again. I don't think much of the menu, it's over priced, and you don't get much for your money. But it's not the kind of place you go to eat I don't think.I know that there are dozens of pubs just like it up and down London but there is something so... straight forward about this place that it's got me. And it has the rather pleasing effect of scaring off tourists, indie kids and the like - it's a bit of a haven in this respect, being so close to the market but remaining proper local.There seems to be a function room upstairs, though I'm not sure what goes on up there. There's a perfectly pleasant beer garden out back and 3 or 4 TV screens showing sport, predominantly I think, rugby. Not the place to take some one on a date. Although rather hilariously when The Doris and I were first stepping out I did just that. What can I say, I'm a hopeless romantic.I can't remember if it's a Thursday or Friday evening but they lay on a fantastic Rock DJ, and I mean Proper Rock - he claims to have been roadie for Deep Purple. Or IN Deep Purple, I can't remember. What ever. There's not a classic rock song this guy doesn't know, and if he doesn't have it with him he'll bring it next week. And no one really seems to mind you dancing on the tables and screeching in falsetto along to Stevie Nicks tracks. And deep down, every one loves Stevie Nicks.It is just such an "honest" (I think there are generally few genuinely honest people in there...) unpretentious boozer that I see it becoming my local.
