Hope & Anchor

Historic Islington pub with live music, theatre, and a dog-friendly vibe.

The Hope & Anchor is a Grade II listed pub at 207 Upper Street in Islington. Its website says it opened its doors to the locals in 1850, and that bands including U2, The Police and The Stranglers have played its stage.

Music is still the pub's identity. It says it has live music nights regularly, a theatre upstairs and a rock jukebox in the bar, with memorabilia on the walls. Drinks include cask ale and wine from the bar. The pub describes itself as family-friendly, and it takes table bookings through the Greene King website and app.

It is a short walk from Highbury & Islington Underground and surrounded by shops.

Highbury & Islington station is a 5 minute walk away and Essex Road about 7 minutes on foot. Paws of London lists it as dog-friendly after an editorial check; the dog-policy card below shows where that comes from and when it was last checked.
