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 held a residency with Tiella.
