Compton Arms

Super pub that's tucked away and easy to miss. Good selection of ales and other beers . Great bar staff . Friendly locals. Worth a trip.

Omg, the food! We were absolutely blown away. Went there in August, Sat night thinking we’ll just get a bite before heading home.. Wow, we weren’t prepared for the best burger (and calamari ) ever! ❤️

It's cosy and very cute place! Small garden is an extra:) I really like the place! it's just like a countryside pub ! (Good for getaway from busy London life!)

2nd best pub in London ! (After the Gun) incredible drinks selection and food is great

One of the few proper pubs off Upper Street. Respect the locals. Free Kitkat with hot drink orders!

Great pub and Four Legs does a lush Sunday Roast . Will definitely be back - excellent vibes <3

Hidden away on a back street but close enough to Highbury & Islington station to be a convenient place to meet. The staff is very friendly and the Maplemoon is delicious. Read more

Unpretentious hidden little gem, apparently George Orwell was a regular at this casual watering hole ????

Gets busy, but it’s a lovely pub off the beaten track . Nice garden out the back too.

Brilliant old english pub with different restaurant pop ups

Great hidden gem for a traditional pub

A good pint. Good for old men. Quiet and probably one of my favorite places in Islington if I want to catch up with an old friend. Intimate.

Lovely pub , hidden away , close to Upper St, seems mostly for locals, usually have some nice ale on the go.

Like stepping into a Yorkshire village pub . Highly recommended.

Decent local. Tidy and friendly

Tiny, well run pub with particularly good value food, and very pleasant garden Read more

Great neighborhood pub . Like a country pub in London .

Excellent pub .
