Often lauded as the prettiest (and the best!) pub in the area, XXXXX is set in a stunning building just a stone's throw from Angel tube station.
Set over two floors, there’s something wonderfully welcoming about the huge windows, high ceilings and sofas tucked away by the fireplace that helps to create a relaxed and warm ambience.
And with a 'Heaven, Earth & Hell' theme with classy decor and dungeon like toilets (complete with comedy soundtrack!), it's definitely a unique venue to visit.
As well as a good selection of draught ales and wines, there’s a juice bar too. With that, and its veggie-friendly gastropub menu, it may make XXXXX the healthiest pub in London!
