I'm keen to try and brew something along the lines of London Pride and the recipes I've been able to find generally call for combinations of Northdown, Target and Challenger.
Target and Challenger are readily available from many of the sponsors, but Northdown much less so.

Is there any particular reason for this? No demand? Poor yields reducing availability? A little from Column A and a little from Column B?

Just about to keg a Special Bitter with Northdown:

94% Maris otter
4% Medium crystal
2% Caraaroma

to 1.045, fermented down to 1.011 with WLP013 - London Ale.

Hops: (no-chill)
Challenger at 60 for 19 IBU
Northdown at 10 and 0 for 12 IBU

Turned out really tasty, I've probably consumed about 750ml in 'samples'!

Definitely recommend Northdown

Lovely hop, I recently got in some fresh from BrewMan after not using it for a few years.
It was the characteristic citrussy hop in Tetley's Bitter before EvilMegaCashCowBrew screwed it over, as they do.

One of my favourite brews I have made is a northdown brown. Not only does its name roll of the tongue nicely, it's flavour does a little dance for you as you drink it.

I like this hop as well.

Brewed this again with all Northdown and 2 medium toast American oak dominoes in the cube. Fermented with 002 to 1.012. Delicious.
