A pub originally built in the 1830s, William IV was saved from redevelopment, beautifully restored, and re-opened in 2023.

We are an independent neighborhood pub on Shepherdess Walk, located just a short walk from Old Street, with the aim to offer the very best of what a local should be. Great drinks, food, and atmosphere in a welcoming environment for everyone — including being one of only three pubs in London selected to pour Augustiner Hells on draught.

As well as the pub, our upstairs dining room offers a more extensive menu, centred on our ethos of providing the very best British produce at an accessible price. Using exclusively rare breed meats from Swaledale butchers, and the freshest fish in the UK from Flying Fish. Open Thursday - Saturday evenings, alongside our Sunday roast, which has been rated among the best in London by Time Out, SquareMeal, and That's Up.
