"Relax, sink pints, and eat one of London’s best burgers at The Plimsoll, a cool Finsbury Park boozer-cum-small plates spot. This place is all about fun, gutsy, and delicious food—like pigeon bhuna—and it makes for an excellent date spot for any couple that thinks getting a little loose over a plate of deep-fried oysters is romantic. Things can get a little lively come Friday night, but if you’re after something casual midweek, there are few better venues." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, heidi lauth beasley
