About The Kings Head
A classic neighbourhood pub built in 1905, a meeting point for Arsenal fans since the club moved to Highbury in 1913.
On the upper corner of Blackstock Road, the Kings Head is one of those long-standing pubs that has barely changed: an original curved bar painted red, period mirrors and an unpretentious atmosphere. It remains, above all, the neighbourhood local rather than a place to eat.
On tap
Beer on tap and in bottles in a traditional pub setting, with the matches on screen.
Food
They don't serve their own food; bringing something in from outside is common.
