An exceptional and sympathetic Wethespoons conversion of a former ABC cinema. This striking building is an oasis in Holloway. The former grandeur of the 1940s cinema is still visible, including a decommissioned projector. Known locally for beer quality and range with great value prices. Full disabled access. Separate family area. Small garden. Full menu served until 23.00. Large no smoking area.

With the general devastation of pubs in N7, it’s good to see one outlet still flying the flag at the corner with Ellington Street. It has received the standard North London makeover – large, mixed size scrubbed tables, comfy chairs, board games and books and a liberal use of candles plus no TV. This all looks to place food more at the forefront – full meals are served Mon to Fri 12 to 3 and Sat/Sun 12 – 4 and all evenings 7 – 10 with full table service. There is a snack menu Tue to Sat 12 – 10. It still retains a number of original features although a lot has gone to create the L shaped open space. Operated by Geronimo Inns who run a number of good London pubs - http://www.geronimo-inns.co.uk/. Recently refurbished. Cask Marque accreditation achieved March 2008.

Fuller's London Pride, one changing guest
Pleased to confirm this delightful little backstreet pub is now selling real ale on a permanent basis. A welcome addition to N7. Traditional corner pub. Although close behind North London University, doesn't seem to get too many students in. Generally fairly quiet and restful. New handpumps installed. Landlord expecting new influx of customers with all the new flats built behind Holloway Road tube station in the area leading up to the new recycling factory relocated from the new Arsenal stadium site.

HERBERT CHAPMAN
274-276 Holloway Road, N7 6NE
Courage Directors but can vary - see below
Recently renamed after the Yorkshireman who managed Arsenal in the 1930s when the club won five league championships and two FA Cups either side of his death in 1934. He also famously persuaded the powers that be to alter the name of Gillespie Road tube station to Arsenal. The change of name reflects the fact that Arsenal's move to the Emirates Stadium now brings the pub into the pre-match drinking catchment area. Faucet Inns ex-Wychwood. Now has pump clips turned round and real ale available but not always consistently and not always Directors.
Formerly Prince of Wales, then Hobgoblin, then the Study

MORAY ARMS
94 Durham Road, N7 7DT
11-11
No real Ale
Found it to be closed and completely gutted inside. Some work seems to be going on on the outside, where the tiled exterior was looking in very good nick, and the pub name was still displayed on the fascia boards above the windows. There was no information about what was happening to it, so it may or may not re-open as a pub. It had an interesting 2 room layout plus Jug & Bottle/Snug area between.
Closed.

No rela ale
Reopened after a short and sympathetic renovation, reverted back to old name and introduced real ale. But now there has been another, more recent, change of ownership at this pub, it is now run as an Irish pub by the owners of the Florin further up the rd. Sadly the handpumps are now unused. This pub has comfortable seating and a fake coal fire. It has the appearance of a large, single-roomed pub until you reach the back, where there is some fantastically carved wooden seating that reaches up to the ceiling, almost like chuch pews.
Formerly Old Kings Head, then just Head
