Not only a great pub, but it's also the best darts pub in London. It has a nice garden too. With friendly staff and a warm atmosphere, it's a perfect place to spend a nice evening with friends.

A Boozer, The Horseshoe, a backstreet pub in the heart of Clerkenwell is a simple 'One Room' pub, L shaped (ISH) with a dartboard and plenty of seating. A good selection of keg beers and a couple of cask ales, along with bottled versions of other cask favourites. A very traditional place with loads of good atmosphere, certainly worth a visit.

🚇 Farringdon 🍺 £5.20 Amstel ❤️ A secluded pub in the backstreets of Clerkenwell. . The Horseshoe is located halfway between Exmouth Market and Farringdon Station. The five minute walk here from Farringdon station is a pleasurable one as you navigate the winding backstreets through Clerkenwell. . When I arrived at this pub I thought to myself what a great setting for a pub. The pub is surrounded by old converted warehouses, smart Georgian houses and Victorian built apartments. This pub is very easy on the eye with its leaded windows, green painted frontage and it’s overall chocolate box…

This is a great pub for watching sports in Clerkenwell. I went in to watch a daytime cricket match and the staff couldn’t have been more helpful- they were friendly and happy to turn the sound on for the match. The pub itself is quite old school and basic but it is clean and comfortable. The draught beer selection is disappointing though, and the price of a pint seemed to go up after about 6pm, which was a bit confusing. I’d recommend this pub if you’re ever in the area and you’re looking for somewhere to watch sport.
