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 — you’ve found it.
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.
