Although this pub is not a listed building, it has an historic pub interior of some regional importance and the description is as follows: “Small pub re-built in the inter-war years, originally with a two-roomed interior as indicated by the two front doors. It has a very good curved bar counter from the inter-war years with horizontal wooden strips. The bar back fitting is not old and lower shelving has been lost to fridges. The walls have inter-war panelling to picture frame height.” The pub was the subject of a community buyout of the 20-year lease by shareholders comprising a collection of local residents and people with a strong connection with the pub.

The King Charles I featured on the From Battle Bridge to Mount Pleasant: Evening Crawl of Pentonville, Kings Cross and Clerkenwell in December 2016.
