The 292 route is the other LT bus which passes close to the ground. It runs from Colindale or Edgware to Borehamwood.

Local pubs
There are four pubs in Shenley Road. These are (in alphabetical order) as follows:
Crown, corner of Shenley Road and Theobald Street. I haven't been in here since it re-opened. It used to be the Enigma although it has been through a number of name changes. Back in the early 1990s it was called the Crown. Hart & Spool (J D Wetherspoon), next door to Tesco in Shenley Road and nearest to the ground. Wishing Well, next door to Woolies (I think). No real ale on the only occasion I went in there
and the only keg ale was Websters. Once bitten, etc. There's no reason for me to go back what with the Hart & Spool being so close by! Just like every other Wishing Well as far as I can see. Woods, nearly opposite the Crown. Used to be OKish in the days when it was run by two Irish brothers and had a big Warsteiner sign outside. No real ale.
There is also a pub up Theobald Street called, I believe, the Wellington. Another one I have only ever visited once. Definitely no reason for me to return because I would have to walk past the Crown to get there.
The other good pub in the area is the Mops & Brooms in Rowley Lane, Well End, which is within walking distance of the ground should you feel so inclined. It is a McMullens pub but keeps the beer well and the Gladstone, if they've got it now that it isn't a regular McMullens beer is rather good.
If you are going via Barnet, either on the 307 or from London on the Northern Line, before getting the 107 to Borehamwood, the Mitre is worth a visit. It is in Barnet High Street and is what's left of the oldest coaching inn in Hertfordshire, just down from the Old Bull Arts Centre. Although I know some people think it looks a bit ropey from the outside it isn't too bad. It used to be a whole lot better though.
In my opinion, the best of these is the Hart & Spool, followed by the Mops & Brooms and then the Mitre.
