The Old Queens Head is a historic Grade II listed pub at 44 Essex Road in Islington. Period details give the building a distinctive sense of character, while the accessible ground floor pub and separate upstairs space support everything from quiet afternoon drinks to busy evenings, private parties and live events.
Food centres on Hot Saint Pizza, whose New York style pizzas combine crisp bases, airy crusts and fresh toppings. Meat, vegetarian and vegan combinations provide plenty of variety, making pizza an easy choice for sharing with drinks or ordering as a complete meal before the night’s entertainment begins.
Sunday brings a more traditional pub experience through generous roast dinners and familiar accompaniments. Bar snacks and satisfying comfort food keep the kitchen useful across different occasions, from a casual catch up to a longer weekend meal with friends.
The bar serves beer, wine, spirits and cocktails, then the atmosphere becomes livelier through DJs, dancing, gigs, karaoke, quizzes and selected sports screenings. Late opening and bookable event areas have made The Old Queens Head both a neighbourhood pub and a long established part of Islington nightlife.
