See more about this pub on WhatPub, CAMRA's national pub guide.

Long narrow pub built in 1631 and rebuilt 1879. Originally a coaching inn called the Royal Mail, a previous name (Murrays) was based upon the licensee's mother's name! It then became the Grand Union which closed early in 2013, interior gutted. Premises now re-opened as a bar with a focus on gin, but has draught beer, albeit all on keg. Note nearby Highbury & Islington is also a rail station on the London Overground.
