Arlington Way, Islington was home to one of Islington’s most famous residents ‘Charlie Chaplin’ during his formative years. Obviously inspired by his parents who were music hall stars, appearing regularly at Sadler’s Wells Theatre, the young Chaplin went on to have success on both sides of the Atlantic and to become one of the most famous actors in the history of Hollywood.

Half-pint, on tap at the brewpub in Islington. Remaining low white head over a misty golden-brown body, spotty lacing. Brown malty smell with dusty hops. The taste profile is dominated by caramel malts followed by moments of leafy bitterness to the ending. Medium plus bodied. Pretty alright. (London 13,01.2019).
