In 2005, the old Northumberland Arms underwent a major £150k image change that transformed it from a traditional Victorian boozer that struggled to cope with the match day hordes to a trendy Spurs themed bar that still struggles to cope with the match day hordes. The Spurs connections with the pub are more intrinsic than a brush of paint – the pub was originally where the players changed in the days of taped crossbars and pipe smoking goalkeepers and the pub is now owned and operated by Spurs and is only open on match days (home and away).
The pub has been closed since 2016 - when it reopens in August 2019 it will only be open on match days (home and away).
