how to find it:

Its pretty far from most tubes, despite it's EC1 postcode. Leave Angel tube, turn left and left again down City Road. Take the right fork down Goswell Road and walk for about 10 minutes. You should see the pub on your left. Its also about 10 minutes walk when you exit left out of Barbican tube.

Goswell Road isn't exactly overrun with pubs so this average boozer is about as good as its gets in these parts. Although not awful in any respect, a nondescript interior and the usual Shepherd Neame selection of drinks mean it's ultimately only a destination for the locals and the less fussy afterwork drinker, although it does do Sunday lunch and under-fives are fed for free.
