"The Liverpool Road pub, which dates back to 1817, has been given a proper boozer makeover, complete with a swirly Victorian-style carpet, dark wood-paneled walls and red velvet-topped bar stools."
"'Proper pub, proper pints, proper food,' says the George IV's new Instagram account."
"The pub was renamed The Angelic in tribute to the queer arthouse film director Derek Jarman, who lived opposite the pub at 60 Liverpool Road from 1967 to 1969."
The Islington pub, formerly known as The Angelic, has been rebranded as the George IV. It has undergone a significant transformation, featuring Victorian-style decor, dark wood paneling, and red velvet bar stools. The pub is now styled more like a traditional gin palace. The new management team also operates other pubs in the area. The original name, The Angelic, honored filmmaker Derek Jarman, who lived nearby. A plaque commemorates his residence at 60 Liverpool Road.
