3. Serious sports credentials: Fox on the Green

Angel

Right on Islington Green, Fox on the Green is a Grade II listed pub that's been serving North London since 1872. Upstairs, Basil's Bar is the real party trick - a first-floor function room with its own private bar, AV equipment, projector, and TV screens that seats up to 55 guests or hosts 80 standing. Large windows flood the space with natural light for daytime events, while moveable seating keeps things flexible. Downstairs stays open for walk-ins, but Basil's Bar gives your group exclusive space away from the main pub buzz. Close to both Highbury and Angel stations, it's a proper North London local that knows how to host.

4. A backstreet North London gem: The Earl of Essex

Islington

Tucked away on Danbury Street just off Essex Road, The Earl of Essex is the kind of neighbourhood pub that makes you feel like a local from the moment you walk in. With an excellent beer selection - both keg and cask - and a beer garden out back, it's perfect for laid-back birthday celebrations or casual team drinks. The pub serves hot food at lunch and maintains that welcoming, social atmosphere that keeps people coming back. It's the North London pub that balances quality drinks with a laid-back warmth.


Earl of Essex don't do private hire (to keep the welcoming vibe) but large bookings can be done ahead of time.

5. A quirky North London party space: The Owl & Hitchhiker

Upper Holloway

Named after two literary legends with local ties - Edward Lear's The Owl & the Pussycat and Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - this Upper Holloway pub celebrates its creative heritage. The first-floor function room hosts up to 100 standing guests (or 50 theatre-style, 30 boardroom), with a semi-split layout that lets you zone off areas for dining, networking, or entertainment. You'll get a private bar, an in-built sound system, banquette seating, and thick curtains to transform the naturally-lit daytime space into an intimate evening setting. For larger events, the room connects to a mezzanine overlooking the ground floor. It's North London party hire with character.

6. A two-floor North London hideaway: The Alpaca

Islington

On Essex Road, The Alpaca is a spacious pub spread across two floors with a beer garden out back. The upstairs space works brilliantly for private bookings, offering a retreat from the main bar while keeping the pub atmosphere alive. Staff are attentive, the food menu covers burgers and roasts, and the cocktail list keeps things interesting. It's relaxed, unfussy, and central - the kind of North London venue where you can settle in for the afternoon and not notice the time passing.
