“ My friends and I met in the Old Red Lion for years but a change of bar staff and the bad beer chased us away. A great pity, the building is lovely and it's loss will be great. How many more flats are going to appear, all 'buy to let' properties making the area transient. Barnet is changing rapidly and I for one would be happy to move elsewhere. I actually live in West Finchley and we have a great residents association that has seen off quite a few property developers. You need the same in Barnet. ”
