The Castle is an 18th century traditional pub with a unique contemporary offer. From the outside it appears to possess all the makings of a London boozer, while on the inside it is far from that. While ‘pavement drinking’ in the summer sun proves popular, our comfy lounge style pub is just that to shelter from the winter chill.
Once visited by a certain King George, who stopped off to enjoy a spot of cock-fighting, but had no dosh and so he could have a bit of a flutter issued the landlord with a pawnbroker’s licence which is still in existence today – the only one by a public house! George then pawned his pocket watch in return for some gambling spends.
An interesting selection of draught products including Franziskaner & Erdinger; Budvar dark, Kupper’s Kolsch, tasty ales, fine wine and spirits, as well as a reputation for our delicious 21 day cured beef burger.
Located opposite Farringdon tube, there are live djs Friday and Saturday night until 1am making us a very popular pre-fabric haunt on the weekend. Our upstairs bar is available for hire and The Castle’s inimitable qualities make this an ideal set location for television and film projects.
