Old Street · Free House

Old Fountain

3 Baldwin Street — London, Old Street. Craft beer, a heated roof terrace, real ales and Sunday roasts, kept by the Durrant family since 1964.

— Since 1964 —

A proper free house, still in the family.

The Old Fountain sits on Baldwin Street, a short walk from Old Street station. It was a Whitbread house when the Durrants took it on. It is a free house now, with nine handpulls, twenty taps, and a kitchen that cooks Sri Lankan street food beside London classics.

Come for a pint of something you know, or a third of something you do not. Stay for the roast, the terrace, or simply the room: dark wood, stained glass, and a green leather banquette that has heard a great many conversations.

— The house —

Eat. Drink. Relax.

The dining room with stained glass, globe lights and a green leather banquette

— Sundays —

The pub turns gastro.

On Sundays Kamu serves award-winning roasts, from 45-day aged sirloin and glazed pork belly to a vegan wellington. Staff who know the beer list will help you find a pint to match.
