The Island Queen

As the only pub in the British Isles to bear the name, The Island Queen really is one of a kind. Tucked away on Islington's quiet backstreets, "the Queen" is a quaint oasis of comfy sofas, high ceilings and intriguing original features reminiscent of a classic London gin palace. Our deceptively bijou bar serves a gargantuan range of speciality drinks, while our colonial-inspired interior - embellished by etched glass and hand-painted mirrors - makes for a uniquely cosy backdrop in which to savour them. When it comes to pubs in Islington, The Island Queen can't be surpassed for its encyclopaedic drinks range, fresh, seasonal food and offbeat charm. In fact, we think it's among the best places to eat and drink in London. Come and lay claim to one of our cosy corners and settle in for a session at a proper local. The Island Queen is within easy reach of City Road, Finsbury or Hoxton, and we're also near Sadler's Wells and Regent's Canal, making us ideal for a spot of lunch or dinner while you're out and about.
