About Skinners Arms

Traditional pub with dado wood panelling and leaded windows, serving real ales and British food.

Named after the City Livery Company and standing on a street named after a past Master of the Company, this traditional medium-sized pub has essentially been converted to one bar, despite the signs on the doors and in the stained glass, of which there is quite a lot in the windows. There is a raised seating area on the left as you enter, and what was a separate room at the back has been converted to a large alcove with more seating. The decor is traditional, and there is a quiet ambience. Formerly a Greene King house. Convenient for King's Cross and St Pancras stations, it is popular with commuters. A wide range of snacks and meals is served.

Be sure to read the camel story on their website!

    Just been to the Skinners Arm again. It is becoming my go to pub when in London. I've just been and had hair platter to share, and it was fantastic. Ase the photo's I've added the food here is excellent value. There's lots of it and it is probably pub grub. I must say I've never been disappointed. In my opinion it's well worth a visit.

    Great neighborhood pub. Our friends live down the way from Skinners Arms and it’s always a stop on our trip to see them. The fish and chips are solid and the service is always good. If you’re in the neighborhood, stop by!

    What an amazing, old boozer! An absolute must-visit from Kings Cross if you are a tourist and wonder what an actual London pub used to be like. Also, a genuine warm welcome from the two guys working behind the bar and a bloody decent pint of beer. Didn't try the food, but it looked pretty standard.

    Stumbled upon The Skinners Arms in London after visiting King's Cross, and it turned out to be the traditional pub experience I was hoping for. Pleasantly surprised by the vegetarian-friendly options, the tasty and generously sized portions made for a satisfying meal. Perfect spot for a quick and enjoyable lunch. Would definitely recommend!

    Hidden treasure, one road down from the hustle and bustle of King Cross Station. The landlords were extremely welcoming, and we had a fantastic time surrounded by tourists and locals . We shall definitely be returning, hopefully sooner rather than later.
