Not the easiest back to KXSP.

May I suggest the White Swan at Highbury & Islington.

Just to note that Arsenal are at home Saturday afternoon, so the White Swan may be busy.

How about The Alfred Herring, Palmers Green? Easy enough to get to KXSP as on the Hertford Loop (with cross platform at H&I if necessary).

From Pymmes, 34 bus and walk up Green Lanes, or walk down Silver Street from the park to Hasellbury Road and get the W6 bus.
All London buses: 23 hours 25 minutes (with Adham, David, Josh and Tangy)
Holds some alternative challenge records. Not sure which ones.

I'm getting the train from Bournemouth and I'm arriving at Waterloo at 7:53am. Unless the trains delayed I should make it.
