Pub · Islington

"Nearest Irish exit: Barnard Park (0.9km) For true short shorts obsessives and OG followers of Paul Mescal’s finsta, The Old Queens Head has been a long-time meeting point for sightings over Negronis and decent burgers. The Islington late-night pub is a petri-dish of moustaches, Camel Blues, and Vibram footwear that could easily do a runner in the morning. Now that his days at the Almeida Theatre are over, you’d think he’d find a new local. But that’s not what we’ve heard." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing
