    House sourdough with beef dripping and Jersey butter for a pound a head is the kind of opening move that sets the tone immediately. This Islington gastropub has a dark wooden floor, chunky tables, and mismatched chairs giving it a lived-in feel despite few original Victorian bones surviving. The beer list gets taken as seriously as the food, and the crowd skews toward locals who've figured out they can afford to eat here regularly.

Eat Score

The score comes from the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin star outweighs a listicle. When you sort by what's nearby, distance changes the order, never the score.

      Stay Score

      Four fifths of the score is the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin Key outweighs a listicle. The last fifth is where it is: the ranked places to eat and things to do around it, and how safe the country is. When you sort by what's nearby, distance from you changes the order, never the score.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. The places are 60% of it: the best of what's within reach, weighed by distance. The setting is the other 40%: how life goes in that country (how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are) and what it's like right there (the air, and the weather). If the score looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
