The DrapersArms Islington

A Grade II listed Georgian pub purpose-built in 1839 for the Drapers' Company, one of the City livery companies, from whom the building is still leased. It stood derelict for years before reopening as a dining pub in 2001, and has run since 2008 under Ben Maschler, son of restaurant critic Fay Maschler. The kitchen serves a daily-changing menu, with a walled garden used in warmer months.
