The Sutton Arms is a friendly pub situated in London's trendy Clerkenwell. But unlike many of the pubs in the area it has not been converted into an Ikea style gastro-pub. It remains in the classic English urban pub style, in a redbrick Edwardian building, with large plate glass windows and burgundy painted wood. Step inside and you will find lots of tables and chairs and a long bar towards the end of the room. There is a smaller bar upstairs, in a room that doubles as a restaurant. The food is good solid pub fare, and the salt beef sandwiches have been particularly highly praised.

As the Sutton Arms is a free house, there is a good range of beers¹ and other drinks. The staff are friendly and there is a TV and a music system. The ground floor is fully accessible to wheelchairs, as the pavement is on the same level as the floor. While there is not a disabled toilet as such, the facilities are wide enough to allow those with mobility problems to use them. The Gents is wide enough for a wheelchair.
