picture of Camden Eye
A couple of years ago there was a refit and name charge for this Camden institution, the closest pub to the tube station, becoming the Camden Eye instead of the Halfway House. The result certainly isn't revolutionary, but has successfully made use of the limited space in the small wedge-shaped bar and is definitely an improvement. Stools and tall tables may not be great for extended periods, or for those inebriated enough to fall off them, but for a transient crowd looking for a handy meeting spot this shouldn't be a problem. Perhaps the lofty position now afforded to the punters has inspired the new name. It is a great spot to keep an eye on the many characters' that frequent the locality and certainly a decent enough place to spend a couple of hours.
