Square Tavern

You'll find Square Tavern tucked away on Tolmer's Square, just north of King's Cross, in that sweet spot where King's Cross proper begins to give way to quieter residential streets. It's the kind of pub that feels genuinely local—the sort of place where regulars actually exist and staff remember what you drink. The vibe is refreshingly unpretentious: wood-heavy interiors, proper ales on tap, and a menu that leans into honest pub classics without any of that tired gastropub theatre. It's busy enough to feel alive on a Friday night but never aggressively so.
