The Elmhurst is a big, characterful corner pub on Lordship Lane in Tottenham, sat across the road from Bruce Castle Park and a short walk from the Spurs stadium. Built in 1903 in Queen Anne style, it keeps its historic interior (carved woodwork, a moulded ceiling, stained glass) while running as a proper games pub. The single most useful thing to know: the darts oche is bookable by the hour for £2.50, so you reserve your slot rather than just rocking up to a free wall board. It suits groups and casual players who want a relaxed throw alongside a pint. There is also table football, shuffleboard and a deep stack of board games, plus Tottenham's largest pub garden out back for when the weather turns.

The darts setup

Darts here runs out of a dedicated oche you book by the hour for £2.50, so it works best if you plan ahead and grab a slot rather than turning up and hoping a board is free. It is one oche rather than a wall of lanes, which keeps things personal for a pair or a small group taking turns. Alongside the darts the games room stocks four table-football (foosball) tables, shuffleboard and more than twenty board games, so a darts session easily rolls into the rest of the night. The pub also fields games and league play as part of its games-pub character, the kind of place regulars treat as a local.

Good to know

Doors open from 3pm Monday to Friday, midday on Saturday and Sunday, with later closes on weekend nights (midnight Saturday). Book your oche slot in advance since it is a reserved hour, not a free-for-all. Food leans on Yardsale Pizza with weekend popups in the garden and Sunday roasts, and the bar pours a rotating range of beers, spritzes and gins. Out back is Tottenham's largest pub garden, complete with outdoor screens and a converted green London taxi you can pile into. The Snug room takes around 26 seated for private hire if you are marking an occasion.

Getting there

The Elmhurst sits at 131 Lordship Lane, N17 6XE, on a corner directly opposite Bruce Castle Park. Seven Sisters is the handiest Underground station (Victoria line plus the Overground), and you are also within reach of Bruce Grove rail station and the buses running along Lordship Lane. It is a short hop from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, so it makes a sensible pre or post-match base if you fancy a few legs of darts around a game. The corner building is hard to miss thanks to its red-brick Queen Anne frontage and the clock-topped pediment over the bar.
