The Turrets, Friern Barnet Road, London N11
Originally the Railway Tavern, the Turrets was built in 1887. In the late 1960s/1970s it was a popular social venue with a function room where discos and folk singing evenings were held. Latterly it became Kites Nightclub. It has been boarded up for years. Apparently it is a listed building, so watch this space.

The Turrets, Friern Barnet Road, London N11
Originally the Railway Hotel, which was opened in 1856, it was re-built in 1887. I am not sure when it was re-named "The Turrets", but it was still the Railway Hotel in the early 1900s. In the late 1960s/early 1970s it was a popular social venue with a function room where discos and folk singing evenings were held. Latterly it became Kites Nightclub. It has been boarded up for several years. Apparently it is a listed building, so presumably the facade would need to be kept if it were redeveloped.
See link to how the pub looked before the turreted extensions were added, probably in the late 1880s.
