Highbury Corner 0171 226 4627

The Famous Cock Tavern is so close to Highbury and Islington tube, that London Underground might as well rename the station to the pubıs name. This is one of those pubs where you donıt need to waste any valuable drinking time racing for your transport home.

The Famous Cock is an apt name for the pub, as everyone still called it The Cock when it changed temporarily to Hedgehog or Hogshead (or whatever it was). Back to itıs right name the vast pub attracts a big regular crowd and is tastefully designed with stripped floorboards and decent sized screens for live football. Not only that, there is even a nightclub underneath to celebrate those big Arsenal nights.
