Pubs in Highbury

Tucked between Finsbury Park and Angel, Highbury has a residential calm that feels removed from the buzz of Upper Street. The area's known for its Victorian terraces, the Emirates Stadium, and Highbury Fields, where locals walk dogs and families gather on summer afternoons. It's not a night-out destination so much as a place where people who live nearby meet for a meal or a quiet pint.

The pubs lean towards the modern gastro end of things. House Of Hammerton brings craft beer and pizza with a taproom vibe, while The Compton Arms offers something more traditional with a beer garden. The Lamb works as a dog-friendly local with decent draught options, and Brewhouse & Kitchen stocks real ale and craft beer alongside cocktails. They suit a casual Sunday roast or midweek catch-up rather than a big night out.
