This Pub is Closed Long Term

A modern/traditional pub sign has appeared on the frontage - and since July 2019 - which reads Pakenham Arms Ale & Cider House; not sure what's going on.

Owned the Convivial Pub Company until 2013 when it closed suddenly and re-opened as a part of "the Old Angel Pub Company", which has pubs in Oxford and Nottingham. A large and spacious pub with a centre bar, which is popular with locals, office staff, and postal workers from nearby Mount Pleasant Sorting Office. Popular for watching football, it can get crowded, especially at weekends and particularly for the Gunners. There is seating available in a pavement patio area for when the weather is fine. Buses: 19, 38, 341 Rosebery Avenue; 63 Farringdon Road / Kings Cross Road. Closed again summer 2014 supposedly to allow a staircase to be installed for access to flats above.
