The Pocket

Pub in Canonbury

A tiny Islington pub from the team behind Gospel Oak's Southampton Arms, opened in spring 2025. The walls are lined with 1970s ashtrays, there's a cast-iron fireplace, and a battered upright piano gets played three times a week. Independent breweries only, beer priced by strength, and a hot pie counter serving homemade sausage rolls stuffed with peppery pork.
