July 2022 - "This pub no longer does any real ales, no hand pumps, staff said they no longer do real ale. Last week came here, closed for private function which you'd only find out if on their website." So best to check before you visit.
In February 2006 CAMRA initiated a programme to celebrate the impact of pubs in history (Pubs in Time) and the Clissold Arms was only one of two pubs in London to receive a prestigious plaque commemorating the fact that the pub was the site of the first public performance of Ray and Dave Davies, the founding members of the Kinks.
Situated between East Finchley and Muswell Hill, The Clissold Arms is a popular local pub, often commended for being family friendly.
