The Compton Arms is one of Islington’s most beloved pubs; it has been in the area since the 16th century and is said to be one of the inspirations for George Orwell’s essay The Moon Under Water. It’s a classic boozer with sport on the telly, great beer on the bar and some of the best chef residences in London – Four Legs, purveyors of the city’s best burger, were cooking here before they went on to open their own pub The Plimsoll, and Dara Klein is currently heading up the kitchen with Tiella.
