The Compass
British
The original baize-green Courage tiles wrapping the corner site are the first thing you notice, and they set the tone: this is a proper Victorian pub that hasn't been sanded into a lifestyle concept. A gastro pub on the edge of Chapel Market in Islington, it spans two floors, with the ground level knocked through into one bright, unfussy room. Solid modern British food, a relaxed pour, and a crowd that runs from market regulars to office escapees.
