The pub cosed around 13/08/21 - it seemed at the time that it would be long-term closed but good news that it is now reopening.
Started as a small panelled bar called the Four Sisters (as that was whom it was run by), it then become a "style bar" named 25 Canonbury Lane, for whom real ale was not deemed in style. Late 2012 it reverted to its original name but still no cask beer.
