About The Artillery Arms
A mid-19th-century pub that owes its name to the neighbouring Honourable Artillery Company, right opposite the historic Bunhill Fields cemetery.
It dates from the 1850s — originally called The Blue Anchor — and owes its current name to the neighbouring Honourable Artillery Company, whose coat of arms sits on the pub sign. Today it's a single-room pub with classic character, standing opposite Bunhill Fields, the dissenters' burial ground where Daniel Defoe, John Bunyan and William Blake are buried.
On tap
Cask ales and beers, plus wines and a classic bar list.
Food
British pub cooking, from bar snacks to mains.
