Great food (Turkish) and not expensive. Very welcoming but as it is so good, you may well need to book for the evenings.

Drinks & Nightlife
A true local pub with great atmosphere and interesting decor but can be very crowded at popular times. A tiered garden that must be seen. Thai food and quiz on Mondays (which I sometimes host).

Sightseeing
Not really walking distance as not only 1.9 miles but very uphill.
However only about 20minutes on a bus from nearby.
Best views across London, which can be seen while sitting having lunch outside the pub.
The world's first public broadcasts of (then) "high-definition" television were made from Alexandra Palace in November 1936.
Now houses exhibitions and the World Darts Championships.
Alexandra Park was opened to the public on 23 July 1863. The planned building was originally named "The Palace of the People"; it and its park were renamed to commemorate the popular new Princess of Wales, Alexandra of Denmark, who had married Prince Edward on 10 March 1863.
