A proper London pub

Oak & Anchor is a cornerstone of Islington – wooden beams, open fire, and a selection of cask ales that change with the seasons. We're a live music venue, a dining room, and your local.

8 rotating cask ales · whisky library

Hearth food
hearth & kitchen

Braised short rib, bone marrow, & more

Our menu is built around the open hearth – British classics with a modern touch. Sunday roasts are legendary, and our cheese board is a pilgrimage.
