The Compton Arms is more famously known as one of former patron George Orwell’s three Canonbury pubs, chosen as inspiration for his perfect watering hole essay, The Moon Under Water. Our tribute to the great man is a feature on our coat of arms, along with legendary local Arsenal and England Cricket siblings, Denis & Lesley Compton. We like to think that of The Compton Arms as a contemporary country pub, hidden in north London. A bolt-hole if you will, from the hectic surroundings of upper street. We are now a Free House, so after a former incarnation as a managed Greene King pub, our beverage selection is more varied and interesting these days. We keep our ales and beers in the very best condition and buy modern brews and traditional classics as locally as possible. Cocktails and wines have also been given a lease of life in this formally pint heavy haven. As booze snobs ourselves it’s important that we have new and rotated things to drink with you.
