The Island Queen is a distinctive pub and restaurant at 87 Noel Road in Islington. The Grade II listed former gin palace retains period detail and a quirky, homely character, tucked into a quieter residential street away from the busiest main roads.
British pub classics and seasonal dishes form the main menu, with burgers, lunchtime sandwiches and lighter plates alongside more substantial meals. Vegetarian and vegan choices are available, giving groups flexibility across the familiar pub format.
Sunday roasts bring a traditional focus at the weekend, while evening set menus and buffet options suit different occasions. The setting works just as naturally for a casual lunch as it does for a family dinner or slower Sunday meal.
Real ale, wine and an exploratory drinks list support the food, and the pub opens daily. Young guests have their own menu and highchairs are available. Guests with allergies should use the current on-site allergen guide and speak with staff before ordering.
Address: 87 Noel Road, Islington, London N1 8HD, England
