how to find it:

It's a bit fiddly this one - leave Camden Town Tube and cross over to the World's End pub, turn left and then right on to Greenland Road, walk to the end and Cross Camden Street, turn right and then left into Georgiana Street. Walk to the end (crossing Royal College Street) - you should see the pub in front of you, by the humpbacked bridge over the canal.

picture of The Constitution Until comparatively recently the Constitution was predominantly a geezers' pub, in part due to being hidden away from the market-going throngs on the wrong side of Camden. While it's managed to avoid being molested by gastropubism and similar 21st century afflictions, the crowd is however changing. Looking at how the Eagle around the corner - one of last old-school pubs in the area - is frequently empty, it's both unsurprising and necessary. A smallish group of devoted but friendly enough blokey regulars still frequent the front, around the bar, but elsewhere younger regulars and newly located locals come here for a relaxing pint. The large beer garden overlooking the canal is understandably popular when the mercury goes anywhere above 15c (at least until the residents from the new flats opposite start moaning), while the diminutive basement bar offers up a variety of music nights, with DJs and live bands. The beer is well kept, with Adnams and regular guest beers offered on the hand pumps by friendly bar staff. A good, honest and refreshingly normal pub.
