This rather grim looking building (on the outside) is occupied by a J D Wetherspoon public house known as The Gilpin's Bell. According to their website, the name recalls the Bell Inn, which stood on the west side of Fore Street. That pub was immortalised by William Cowper in his best-selling 18th-century ballad "The Diverting History of John Gilpin". J D Wetherspoon opened this pub in 1998. Being near the Tottenham Hotspur football ground, on match days it is only open to home match day fans.
