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.

Situated on the canal, but hidden away from the market-going throngs on the wrong side of Camden, the Constitution has managed to avoid being molested by gastropubism and similar 21st century afflictions. It is also off the radar for both tourists and weekend revellers alike. There is a good mix of devoted but friendly regulars frequenting the front, around the bar, but elsewhere younger and newly located locals come here for a relaxing pint. The large, flower-adorned beer garden overlooking the canal is a lovely place to while away the afternoon and is understandably popular when the mercury goes anywhere above 15c. Meanwhile the diminutive basement bar offers up a good 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.
