The Marquess Tavern, Canonbury, N1

A rather grand looking building prominently placed, the interior furnishing is plush. An Island bar supports five handpumps offering three mainstream ales on my visit,these were Fullers London Pride, Black Sheep Bitter and Timothy Taylor Landlord which came in at £5.90 a pint and offered in decent condition. The pub was very busy on a Saturday afternoon, possibly due to exceptionally good spring weather, with a mainly thirty something age group. A decent pub.

Imposing Young's pub with their usual ale selection. One room with bar in the centre. Seats out front and a beer garden to the rear, with a giraffe in its midst. Not a real one, I hasten to add!
