Part of our Best Pubs in London microsite. Is your local listed?
A few yards from Canonbury Overground station crouches the Snooty Fox, a pub that urges you to relax as soon as you enter. Not just relax, in fact — something about the open blinds on the windows and the brickish interior make the Snooty Fox almost soporific, which is no bad thing.
There's a respectable selection of ales to choose from (this a former CAMRA winner), as well as a couple of intriguing ciders (one at 6% was a bit naughty). The wine list aims more for quality than quantity, but it is a pub well known for good food from its open kitchen. The menu includes a daily rotisserie serving free-range chicken, but is otherwise burger-focussed.
Around the walls, an eclectic art collection focuses on the music that gives the pub its loose theme. The Snooty Fox is famed for its vinyl jukebox, with a small but lovingly chosen selection of rock and roll classics.
Images below are from 2014 and may not reflect the pub's current look. We include them for the sake of posterity.
