And guess what? We know this is big but we're just going to say it. This is the best roast in the world. Bar none. Seriously. It's amazing.
Just in front of the Camdem Stables Market, The Lock tavern is a very nice pub where chill on the weekends.
I'm used to go there when my friends come to visit me in London so I can show them what is a typical English Pub.
There are two floors with comfortable sofas, and a nice terrace for sunny days.
The pub menu has all the classics you would expect and the price are truly fair enough.
The drinks are cheap and the staff is young and kind.
Pardon the pun, but the whether you like the Lock Tavern or not will be all about your personal taste. Let me explain. The atmosphere and venue are both excellent for anyone who likes to party, and this is reflected in the fact that you will be hard pressed to find a table or even a place to stand sometimes. The food is also of a good quality - regular pub fare but often with a twist, such as the 'Uncle Buck Burger' or the pulled pork sandwich. Now the reason I must leave the rest to you is because of the clientele, whom many perceive to be a little too concerned with acting cool. If you enjoy that, think I'm being unfair, or can at least tolerate it, then this place is excellent.

Absolutely, the pub in Camden Town is a hidden gem that you simply can’t miss. Their winter-ready beer garden with a fire pit is the perfect spot to enjoy a meal and drinks even during the colder seasons. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, with soft lighting and blankets available to keep you warm.
The food is delicious and diverse, offering everything from classic British dishes to more international options. The beer selection is outstanding, with a wide variety to choose from. The staff is friendly and attentive, adding even more charm to the experience.
I highly recommend this pub to anyone looking to enjoy a great meal and a fantastic beer selection in a warm and festive setting, even in the midst of winter. It’s the perfect place to gather with friends or have a delightful time on your own. Don’t miss out!
Great atmosphere, beautiful terrace/garden with pretty decoration. Garden is partially covered. No need to worry about the rain. Only when you leave. 😝
Food is great. 🍔
One day we tried a vegan jackfruit burger and a classy beef. I wanted to replace the fries to sweet potato, and they charged extra for it instead of just swap them.
They told me I have to pay extra is true. 🤓But like that it was overpriced.
I payed around £58 💸 for two burgers with a swapped fries to sweet potato. Just be aware when you ask any extra or swap. 🤨
Second time we were there for Sunday Roast. It was amazing. I didn’t expected to be that good. Well done team.
Would be back for another Sunday Roast for sure.
Great vibrant environment.
What can I say ..a brilliant place, a Pandora's box of a pub. Sit for a moment, enjoy and then look at the garden, delightful. Oh, pop upstairs and look at the bar and roof garden, not missing out on the lovely hidden room next to the bar. The place is simply delightful. Then we address the staff, thank you for lovely service and the best smiles. Loads of keg beers but, as far as I am aware, not the place for real ale drinkers, it doesn't say it is, so, sorry but still a great place. I have never put so many commas in a single sentence: sorry to my teachers of yesteryear.
It's a great place with friendly staff. All the food we tried was tasty - fish&chips, pizza, sausage&mash. Quite a peaceful pub although it was a Sat afternoon and crowds at the market. I would recommend that without question.
I love the lock tavern and it unlocked my decrepit heart. The cider quenched my thirst as we walked in 30 degree heat, the beer garden was vibin and had lots of open tables, and bar service was quick and friendly! I love thé rooftop bar but unfortunately it was closed so lost a star for that bc TRULY that’s the peak attraction for me. Camden, the lock tavern is your main port!
What a great discovery in Camden!.. I'm sure it's no surprise to locals and those who frequent the Roundhouse but it was a first for us.
Lots of space in the bar, terrace, and gardens... we sat int eh rear garden which was buzzy and had a great atmosphere.
Lager on tap was maybe a little limited compared to some but they did have a few staples which was good.
Food appeared a little pricey at first glance but we were hopeful... and the kitchen did NOT dissapoint.. the burgers were AMAZING!!!.
Friendly staff behind the bar... great food, good buzz... I'd definitely return!
Great pub in Chalk Farm / Camden.
Came on a busy Sunday evening and had a great time. The live music was great and added to the atmosphere. All staff were excellent, great drinks and cocktails and fast service.
The women's bathroom lock was broken, hopefully they can fix this.
Overall still a great place to come for a drink and relax with friends, they even do pints takeaway which is fun.

Thank you for response from Owner! Please email me about the terrace opening
Friendly service, nice large outside area with a fire pit and also a roof terrace. Pint of Estrella was cold and crisp. The food looked great although we just stopped for beers. They even had dog biscuits!
Gréât roof top patio! Very pretty and delicious beverages. Only issue was the installed bar was closed (it was a Tuesday afternoon) so we had to go downstairs to order, which was totally fine
We booked a Sunday Bank Holiday afternoon, booking was very easy, lovely lady on the phone.
Good selection of pints, we had the Peach Beer.
Burger was of a pretty good standard, but lacked a bit of garnish.
Good enough beer garden to spend the afternoon in. No sports TVs available.
Tables were not good for touch cup, if you know what that means.
Great bar at Camden Market. Good happy hour and selection of beer!
A few minutes walk away from the market is a pub with a beer garden and food. It was all pretty good for an early Thursday afternoon! I had fish and chips and they were good. Next time swap out the chunky fries for skinny for me!
Mid-week drink. Good space with enclosed outside courtyard with heaters. Didn't see roof terrace as closed. Even has photo booth outside. One of the better pubs outside of Camden Station's immediate vincinity🥃
Very good place (garden at the back, terrace at the top etc) to enjoy good burgers and roasted dishes.
Good beers, music and atmos. Nice pre gig drink spot.
Great vibe and cheap beers on happy hour, loved it!
Popped into this pub for a quick drink, great pub with a fantastic roof terrace.
Ordered drinks and watched the world go by. Fantastic view of the market, great atmosphere and really busy as around 6pm on a Saturday
Would definitely return.
Didn't order anything to eat but the food looked delicious
