The Hope and Anchor is a public house on Upper Street, in the London Borough of Islington. During the mid-1970s it was one of the first pubs to embrace the emergent, but brief, phenomenon of pub rock. With the decline of this movement, the pub went on to become a leading venue in the punk rock movement. [ [http://www.bugbearbookings.com/pages/ha.htm bugbear bookings ] ]
The actual performance space at the Hope and Anchor was, at the time, a spartan and rather grubby basement space, alternately dank or overheated, and always smoky, but this in many ways suited the anarchic ideals of late-'70s live music. The Stranglers recorded their album "Live at the Hope and Anchor" there.
The Hope and Anchor is still a pub and venue today, though facilities have been improved. It also has pool tables on the first floor and a jukebox in the main bar.
