Serving the taste of Louisiana in London
Plaquemine Lock is an English gastropub on Regent’s Canal in Angel, Islington – serving up the bold, smoky, soulful flavours of Louisiana.
Our menu blends Cajun and Creole classics with British produce, all cooked to a high standard in a laid-back, music-filled setting.
Food & Drinks Menus
Live Music
There’s something in the air round here – part hot sauce, part horn section. Every weekend, our Angel pub lets loose with live music that swings, struts, and shouts like a backstreet party in the Ninth Ward.
From Zydeco to dirty brass, swampy blues to foot-stomping funk, we keep the spirit of the South rolling deep into the night. If you’re looking for a live music pub in Islington that feels more Bourbon Street than Upper Street – welcome!
The full line-up changes faster than a fiddler’s elbow – check out this week’s Live Music Listings for who’s bringing the heat.

Happy Hour
Every weekday from 4pm to 6pm, and weekends 11am to Midday, Plaquemine Lock serves up the best-value Happy Hour in North London, packed with Louisiana flavours, cold beer, and canal-side vibes. From crispy cornbread to bloody Marys, po’boys, pints, and mimosas – this is how Angel does after work.
Whether you’re winding down, revving up, or rolling straight into the music, this is Happy Hour the Cajun way: loud, proud, and dangerously good.
