Drinking in Camden / Kentish Town



Camden lock way is past it’s best imo, the good mixer has shut down and the Hawley arms is a glorified Indy disco.
Best part of Camden is head up parkway to spread eagle, Dublin castle and Edinburg castle.
 
The Hawley for Camden, used to go to Dublin Castle for gigs but not been in for years. The Vine and The Junction for KT. A bit further up the hill toward Tufnell Park you have the Dartmouth, the Lord Palmerston, and the Bull and Last

Pretty much a restaurant, can’t just turn up for a pint.

If we’re going that for north might as well hoy in the Southampton Arms, which isn’t worth doing to unless you like real ale and cider.

Yeah? Not been in for a long time - early 2000s. The Dartmouth was my local - had good beer, a trivia night, footy on tv, and a landlord that looked like Eddie Izzard. The Southampton is the one just after the bridge as you go up Highgate Rd?

Aye just down from the bull and last.
 
The elephants head is decent enough, hawley arms used to be ok. The answer is as posted just previously, the Southampton Arms. I used to live over the road from there when it was a bit different to how it is now :lol:
 
The prices of goods and services in a place reflect the cost of the purchase price of the product, the wages they pay to staff and cost of ground rent on the pub, bar or restaurant.

It’s not f***ing difficult. If you don’t like it and constantly feel ripped off, or come here and restrict yourself to drinking in shit holes or Wetherspoons because you can’t bare the expense, stop at home.

And you get a free shot with every pint ...
 
Is this price of a pint grumble we always get on here just a London thing? Are people like this on holiday as well?

If you’re down here for 3-4 days or whatever and every pint you buy is 40p or even a quid more each time you’d surely have to be drinking a hundred pints or something for it to even matter.

If money’s that tight surely you shouldn’t be going away ffs.
I don’t like to feel I’ve been robbed though. It’s mental down here with outer London prices in lots of places. That’s not reflected in the wages of the staff either
