Converted into a bar from an Indian restaurant in late 2006, The Garden Ladder stands out amongst the fast food outlets and independent shops of Green Lanes.

The area's first true bar, the Ladder caters for all tastes with cocktails and an extensive wine list in addition to the usual array of thirst quenchers.

The food is plentiful and cheap, and DJs take over once a month for theme nights with the best dressed winning a bottle of champagne.
