Site: King Charles I pub (1 memorial)

From Islington Tribune, 2021: "Residents living nearby saved it six years ago when rumours spread it could be turned into “just another coffee shop”. In 2015, they raised £70,000 between them to bid for the leasehold, and the group of 18 shareholders has been running it ever since, preserving it as a traditional pub."
