Growing up in London generally means that when you hit adolescence you become part of the cool kids of Camden. Hanging around the lock attempting to get in to any pub or club that will allow you in. Thinking your the crème de la crème of the London scene. A few years pass and Camden is still the center of the universe only now you can legally get in to all wonderful bars that smell like other peoples sweat and urine and you feel like you need c fold towels to even touch anything in these establishments. However as time goes on and your sense of taste changes you realize that Camden high street is NOT the place to be.
Actually the place to be is the back streets that stretched from Tufnell Park to Camden and on to Chalk Farm. These roads are packed with some of the best pubs and bars in London.
If you are a true Londoner or want a glimpse of what going out in London is really like, head to this area. You will find something for everyone, whether you’re in to your boutique clubs or old-fashioned pub or niche bar this area has a place for you.
Kentish Town holds one of the best of these little gems; The Southampton Arms is one of the best pubs I have been introduced to. It is an ale and cider house and has an unbelievable variety of the two. Not only does it provide you with the most delicious beverages, they also have a fabulous atmosphere and the staff are brilliant. If you are an ale and cider fanatic this is the place to go!
Sounds perfect for a decent night out in London (for a change!)
Thanks for the post.
