Historical version 3 of King's Head, N1 2SF (view current version)
- 59 Essex Road, N1 2SF (streetmap) (osm) (gmap) (bingmap) (streetview)
Pub on Essex Road in Islington. It was renamed from the King's Head in 2011, and is presumably under new management. The comments below pre-date the change of name.
On our September 2010 visit as part of the 38 bus route pub crawl, there was one real ale on offer — Sharp's Cornish Coaster, which was perfectly fine. Sport was showing on the flatscreens, but with the sound off.
There's a dartboard towards the back, and a beer garden of some kind out the back too. A selection of board games is available.
Kake's verdict: Probably my favourite of the Essex Road pubs we visited during the 38 bus route pub crawl, mainly because it wasn't dark and noisy.
Accessibility: Small step up to get in. Another step to get to the back part, where the toilets are (including one marked as accessible).
