The Island Queen
A decorated pub interior adds a neighbourhood pause to a walk through Islington.

A place worth knowing
The Island Queen brings the character of an old London gin palace to Noel Road, away from Islington’s main thoroughfares. Food and a full drinks menu make it work for a lunch stop, dinner or a drink during a neighbourhood walk.
Build it into time spent on Islington’s quieter streets. Reserve a table if a meal is the centre of your plan, particularly when meeting a group.
