The Island Queen

Description

Tucked away in the leafy backstreets of Islington, The Island Queen is a stunning old London gin palace. 

Today, the pub retains a generous dose of grandeur, with its traditional wood panelling, soaring ceilings, open fire, tropical foliage and hand-painted mirrors. 

On the menu, you’ll find a great choice of classic British dishes and sociable sharers, while the well-stocked bar offers an impressive range of premium drinks, including cask ales, wines and artisan spirits. 

There’s also a bookable space for meetings, celebrations and gatherings. 

This one-of-a kind venue is unique in more ways than one – it’s the only pub in Britain named The Island Queen.
