The Wilmington is a Clerkenwell gastropub on Rosebery Avenue, close to Exmouth Market. Known locally as the Wilmo, it combines the period character of a traditional London pub with a bright dining room and an informal neighbourhood atmosphere.
The kitchen uses British ingredients in an evolving menu that includes pub classics, seasonal specials and dishes influenced by flavours from around the world. This approach gives regular guests familiar choices while allowing the kitchen to respond to the changing seasons.
Brunch, lunch and dinner are served through the week, with the Sunday roast remaining one of the pub’s defining traditions. Roasted meat, vegetables, potatoes, Yorkshire pudding and gravy create a substantial meal designed for relaxed Sunday gatherings.
Ales, beers and wines support both casual drinks and full meals, while the pub welcomes groups and celebrations. Its position between Farringdon, Angel and Sadler’s Wells makes The Wilmington convenient for local residents, workers and visitors to the surrounding area.
Address: The Wilmington Arms, 69 Rosebery Avenue, Clerkenwell, London EC1R 4RL, United Kingdom
