Are there any good pubs in Clerkenwell?
As Londoners, at Cozee we are deeply attached to our weekly attendance to our local pub. Why should you be different in the place where you are going to live? That is why we have been testing and reviewing all the pubs in Clerkenwell. As a matter of fact, we didn’t… But we would have loved to. Here is then the list of the greatest pubs of Clerkenwell
| Pub name Name | Address | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Holy Tavern | 55 Britton Street Clerkenwell EC1M 5UQ | Opened in 1996 as a re-creation of an 18th-century tavern. After over 20 years as the Jerusalem Tavern it was reopened in March 2022 in its current guise. The pub is now run by the building’s owners but the tie up with St Peter’s brewery remains for the time being. The decor is bare wooden floors and bare walls, with a mixture of wooden chairs and tables. |
| Sutton Arms | 6 Carthusian Street Farringdon EC1M 6EB | Former Charrington pub bought by Fuller’s in 2015. Long L shaped bar. Rear has skylight, mirrors and Friary Meux poster. The upstairs saloon bar has no bar front and has wine and bottled beers. |
| Castle | 34-35 Cowcross Street London EC1M 6DB | A pawnbroker’s sign and a large painting commemorate a former licensee of this pub lending George IV money for a bet, some of which he accepted as reward the right to practise as a pawnbroker which of course has not been used. The pub was refurbished in 2021 and now has a single bar. wooden floorboards and some exposed brickwork. There is a mixture of seating styles with additional seating up the steps at the rear of the pub. |
| Fox & Anchor | 115 Charterhouse Street London EC1M 6AA | The main bar is narrow and not that big. Well restored in 1993, including a plasterboard beamed ceiling, blue tiled strip above the dado, the bar-back, stunted partitions down the opposite side, fireplace. Some elements are newer, like the pewter bar counter and at the back, the Fox’s Den, consisting of a small anteroom and three tiny snugs or booths (each slightly different), created by remodelling the back of the pub including what used to be the gents. Ex-Allied, from 1999 Bass, M&B. Taken over in 2007 by Cunning Plan, their first outlet, combining gastro food with a boutique hotel upstairs. Bought by Young’s in 2014. Young’s also run the next door cocktail bar The Vestry. |
| Hope | 94 Cowcross Street London EC1M 6BH | Late 19th century four storey building with many fittings from Victorian and inter-war times. Above a black polished granite base is a fine recessed pub frontage including a rare central bay bowed and curved window above etched panels. The lower ‘Wines’, ‘Ales’ and ‘Spirits’ frosted windows look to be from the 1920/30s. Built as an inn during the days between the medieval and modern market in an area which was then parkland. It is alleged that the pub was erected over the Path of Hope leading to a sanctuary church, which condemned prisoners from Newgate Prison were led, if they received a last minute reprieve. |
| Sir John Oldcastle | 29-35 Farringdon Road London EC1M 3JF | This Wetherspoons pub is named after The Sir John Oldcastle Tavern, which stood in the former grounds of Sir John’s nearby mansion.
