About Landseer Arms
Spacious, classic pub with outdoor seating, modern dishes, local real ale & Mediterranean wine.
December 2021 - Four real ales on at time of visit. £8 lunch deals served 12pm-4pm weekdays along with main food menu. Sunday roasts offered. Spacious outdoor seating area, which is the perfect place to enjoy a drink on a Summer's evening.
Umbrella cider is usually available, normally on keg but sometimes in cask. They are a small cider (and ginger beer) producer a short distance away behind the Crown pub on Holloway Road. A nice cider, on handpump that tastes as good as one on the Camra approved list. There is no mention of the cider on Umbrella's own website so must be very new product.
Pub website: "Welcome to the Landseer Arms, a community pub serving unpretentious Mediterranean meals, European wine, local beer and real ale. Built in 1874, our pub has been through many names and guises over the years. We arrived in 2017, bringing with us exceptional Sunday roasts, £8 weekday lunches, a tri-weekly changing menu; all served in a beautiful Victorian building, complete with woodfire and open kitchen."
Victorian pub, so different from most of the places on Holloway Road. It has been through a few incarnations, from an Allied pub called the Stanley Arms (see below) which was closed down as uneconomic, a Wetherspoon called JJ Moons, then renamed in 2002 after the Victorian artist, whose works included the Trafalgar Square lions and a painting called "Monarch of the Glen". North London CAMRA Summer Pub of the Season 2018.
Spacious interior includes a conservatory-style space (sometimes used for dining) on the other side of the bar. Lots of pavement seating, with retractable awnings and heaters. Underwent a refurbishment in 2017 with the outside now a dark green paint job. Operated by Stanley Pubs who also run the Lady Mildmay and three other pubs.
This pub was originally called the Stanley Arms see http://www.pubshistory.com/LondonPubs/Islington/Stanley.shtml .

The pub is set in a gentrified residential area next to a small park. A friend and I stopped in for a pint of beer while exploring pubs in the area, it was mentioned in one of the good beer guides we had looked at. The pub seems very nice, plenty of seating inside and out, the outer frontage reminded me of a more European vibe, inside the pub was not as traditional as the facade suggested. It was quite bustling for lunchtime on a Sunday. We did not stop long enough to eat but the food we saw being brought out looked very good and there was an extensive menu chalked up on a wall. May consider…

A great local pub with good deals and really standout food! It’s a rotating menu, so you never know what you’ll get, but there are always lots of options (including great vegetarian ones) and the food is always incredible!

🚇 Archway 🍺 £6.30 Victoria Malaga A Relaxing Backstreet Local. The Landseer Arms is located in a quiet residential backstreet in Upper Holloway, North London. The nearest Tube is Archway, it’s a ten minute walk to get here. This pub started life as The Stanley Arms and was built in 1871. The pub was renamed as The Landseer Arms in 2017, it is run by Stanley Pubs who are a small PubCo that also run five other pubs across North London. This is a spacious one bar pub that has two adjoining rooms. The servery is centrally located, simple in appearance and has a modern metro tiled back bar…

Beef sandwich was amazing. After one year, stake sandwich and again I am very happy. I think this is the best in Islington what you can find. Update I try steak and again I am happy Today my choice was lunch menu Pork Belly that was perfect choice

The pub is one of my favs so far tbh! I really appreciate the sense of humour of the bar-woman serving us multiple times! The food was really fresh very well presented, very good prince (my bf paid-lol). Even though, my dish was vegan…and I’m. It vegan, I just really enjoyed it! Well done guys! See you next time!
