| The Angel is a fairly traditional style pub that will fill a gap if you have a gap that needs filling but won’t leave you with any great lasting impressions. The beers are rather mainstream (Bombardier, Pride and Greene King IPA) and not particularly cheap - Bombardier at £3.20 is at the stretching it end of pricing, even for London. The interior is neat and tidy with leather backed built in seating and a semi circular bar but the (I counted 3) plasma screens seem to be a bit too dominating. The patterned windows display Taylor Walker symbols which always remind me too much of Arsenal which isn’t good. The background music was also incredibly dull. There was a bar upstairs but I didn’t feel any great inspiration to explore the place that far. On the whole, a very average place, not one to avoid but certainly not one to make any great effort to seek out. RogerB - 6 Dec 2009 13:47 |
| I actually counted four flat screen tele’s and my only gripe with this place was that I couldn’t actually find an area where I could sit and not be in full view of a bright blazing plazma. But that apart I found this to be a decent corner pub. Ale choice was as described by Strongers below and seemed to be well kept. There is a few limited outside tables on the Leonard Street side, but the density of the traffic on the City road doesn’t make this place conducive to enjoying an outside pint.

| On my recent week night visit here I enjoyed a decent pint of Pride with a few friendly locals and hospitable staff. Greene king IPA and Bombardier were also available alongside a standard draught selection. There is a small servery at the end of the bar that serves up basic pub grub for the peckish. Sky sports was being shown on all three plasma screens and from the advertisements in the bar I gleaned that another two screens are located in the upstairs bar that doubles up as a function room. I liked it in here and would certainly recommend it to others. Strongers - 28 Aug 2009 20:55 |

| Good boozer - krsone, or should that be Murph, I recall the Prodigy incident well, also when I forgot that you can't smoke in pubs anymore (think I'd had too many at that point!) benjah - 6 Jun 2009 13:52 |
