[[Category Shepherd Neame|Shepherd Neame]] pub and small gig venue in [[Locale Clerkenwell|Clerkenwell]].

Named after the character from Dickens' <em>David Copperfield</em>, the Betsey Trotwood has been a venue for small bands and clubnights for many years. It has both an upstairs room and a 'cosy' basement venue available to be booked out, while the ground floor remains a perfectly decent environment for a pint. It was [https://www.timeout.com/london/bars-pubs/betsey-trotwood redecorated in 2012] and now has a rather smart green/dark wood colour scheme.

On [[Kat]]'s visit in March 2014, there were three handpulls on, all serving Shepherd Neame beers (I only tried the Early Bird, and it was well-kept). It was relatively quiet in the main section, considering it was a Saturday evening &#8212; the website advises booking a table for food on weekday lunchtimes, however.

Accessibility: the ladies' toilets are down a flight of stairs, next to the basement venue (past the alarmingly life-sized picture of Alvin Stardust).
