NORTH LONDON, BARNET and HARROW
N1:
The Compton Arms, 4 Compton Avenue, N1 2XD,020 7359 6883.
Four rounds of general knowledge questions.
Enjoyable if not high-powered quiz in this pub, which seems to have more locals than any other in Islington.
Prize: Round of drinks. Jackpot: No
The Eagle, 2 Shepherdess Walk, N1 7LB, 020 7553 7681: 8 pm start.
The Islington Tap, 80 Liverpool Road, N1 0QD, 020 7354 5111.
Fifty questions, mixed rounds, bias towards popular culture (music and the like).
Bills itself as starting at 7.30, gets underway 8 or so. It’s a relief that they’ve decided to photocopy picture sheets for each team… there used be only one available to be shared in the whole pub.
Prize: Cash. Jackpot: No
The Narrowboat, 119 St Peters St, N1 8PZ, 020 7288 0572.
Sixty to seventy questions, pictures on the last night we were there but not at other times, and maybe a hand-around which could be anagrams or other things. Joker round.
The Narrowboat is usually a challenging and interesting quiz with a lot of questions. It is better on the nights when the picture round is either absent or compiled from a source other than the web.
Prize: Cash for first, booze for others. Jackpot: Yes

Prize: Cash. Jackpot: No.
N10:
The John Baird, 122 Fortis Green Road, N10 3HN, 020 8444 8830.
Six themed rounds, fewer might be read out. Hasn’t taken place a couple of times I’ve been there if not enough teams are in evidence.
Prize: Cash. Jackpot: No.
N12:
The Autumn House, 744 High Road, N12 9QG, 020 8343 6950: free supper, meal and drink prizes.

N19:
The Plough, 354 Hornsey Road, N19 4HT, 020 7263 6278.

Prize: Cash. Jackpot: No

Good quiz with an early start and finish. First round of 15 is general knowledge, second is five each of sport, tv/film, and music. However, if you win you still have to pick the winnings out of a choice of three envelopes.
