About Famous Royal Oak
Old-school, family-run pub featuring live bands, jukebox music, quiz nights & a pool table.
Modern replacement for an old pub, a pub having stood on this site for over 200 years, just below arches of old railway from Highgate to Alexandra Palace now providing a pleasant walkway and impressive vistas. One main bar, with pool table in a large extension to right-hand side, both areas being festooned with bric-a-brac. Main sporting events shown on TV. Large outside seating area at front with impressive hanging baskets. Quiz night on Thursday from 9.15pm. Light snacks available at all times and summer barbecues on the terrace. Live piano sessions every Wednesday evening 6pm-7pm. Plus a retro jukebox with classics from the 1960's to the 00's.

Great hidden north London pub,extremely intermit surrounding with pub garden for warmer weather,a totally different experience from the larger pub in the surrounding Muswell Hill area. If you notice the railway bridge,it is the famous walking/cycling north London abandoned railway from Alexander Palace to the back of Finsbury Park,excellent views!!!!

Best Guinness I’ve ever had. Didn’t eat there , just went after bonfire night and drank. I started liking Guinness after coming to this place, but can never find another just like it! Need to come back again!
