The Lexington - Islington

I love The Lexington in London. The music and atmosphere are always fantastic. The vintage decor gives the venue so much character. Highly recommend it!

The Lexington in Pentonville is a renowned restaurant in London that serves traditional British cuisine. With a history of hosting events and gigs for famous bands like Yeasayer and Black Mountain, it has gained a strong reputation. When I mentioned to my friends that I was going to try the food at The Lexington, they were surprised. "Food? At The Lexington?" they asked. But indeed, that was my plan for a Friday night.

Large pub between kings cross and Angel downstairs is quite vintage decor (chandeliers) and gets v busy on a sat! Drinks are reasonably priced. Upstairs turns into a club night and is a bit smaller with a stage good music though.

Excellent spot for drinks as well as a night out! Pub downstairs has got a great feel to it. Music is really cool, decor vintage and the atmosphere is brilliant. Most people dance and chat to each other and you are bound to have a decent time. Upstairs offers a dancing floor and is bit more like a club(although it can't match the atmosphere downstairs). Open till late with no fees for entry. No brainer if you are around!

I recently attended a performance by the talented and underappreciated musician Jessica Winter at this lovely venue. The space is intimate and not overly large, with reasonable drink prices and restroom facilities on both floors. I highly recommend this spot for anyone who enjoys live music gigs!
