Constitution in Camden

I’ve had a great time coming in with my friend for some food and drink. We’ve been looked after by Anna and Stef they’ve been really friendly with big smiles! The cheese burger and fries arrived quick and hot and was amazing. Had a great chat with the staff before we left and got a nice and warm goodbye before leaving. Will be back for more food and drinks hopefully with more friends 10/10!

Service can’t be beat! Loved the upstairs garden bar. Food was fantastic and huge servings.

Thrasos is the man. Great service

Stunning pub, great staff, great beers. Sadly a table of chavs with some loud dangerous dogs cleared half the pub.

Nicely refurbished pub by the canal, just minutes away from the busy streets of Camden. Used to be a local boozer, now open for a vider range of costumers with its stunning extension and it views over Kings cross. Good selection of food and drinks, friendly service

Nice location and service. Chill atmosphere. The decor all feels a bit artificial and the drinks and food are expensive.

🚇 Camden Town 🍺 £7.30 Asahi The Constitution is located in the backstreets of Camden Town overlooking Regents Canal. The nearest Tube is Camden Town, it’s a five minute walk to get here. This pub was built in 1858 and used to be part of Agar Town, a place that no longer exists. This former Courage pub suddenly closed in 2020, which was such a sad loss to the local community and beyond. The pub remained dormant until March 2024 and reopened after an extensive refurb by new owners Youngs. The refurb has brought in many changes since my last visit in 2018. The whole building has been revamped from a working class boozer to a high end and very stylish public house. There are three bars with the main bar located on the ground floor. The servery has been relocated to the rear to make a spacious bar area at the front of the pub. If you head down stairs there is a cosy cellar bar with a faux old world feel. If you head upstairs there is another bar with a rooftop terrace and retractable roof. One of the main attractions here is the patio beer garden over looking Regents Canal. The beer selection is decent and offers a good choice of familiar beers and included four cask ales. I decided on a pint of Asahi, my pint was great, price point was north of seven quid. The food menu is elevated pub classics, Fish & Chips costs £18.50, Roasts are available on a Sunday. I arrived mid afternoon on a rainy Tuesday in May. The pub was quiet so I had a good mooch around the check out the new refurb. The atmosphere was chilled, there were a dozen or so punters dotted around the pub. The service was excellent, the chap who served me was welcoming and courteous. As I sat pondering my visit and quaffing my pint, I reflected on how much Camden has changed. I first started drinking around this manor in 1990 when Camden was an edgy part of town and full of surprises. The Constitution is a beautiful and stylish pub that reflects how much Camden has been sanitised. I would definitely recommend a visit but I much preferred the character of the old boozer. ℹ️ Info correct on visiting 21.05.24

Have been now for the first time since the refurbishment and it was really lovely! The espresso martinis are really good too!

Beer and food are amazing. A very cozy and chill place to hang out with your gf, have a drink and something hot and tasty to eat. The terrace on the river is also super nice.

The food is AMAZING!! Staff is always really kind and sedulous. Definitely I’ve become a regular. Highly suggest!!

Great place to stop in after a busy time in Camden, nice balcony overlooking the canal and the staff are friendly and happy to help, good selection of pub grub as well as 3 floors to choose where to sit.....you can't go wrong !!

The Perfect London Pub in Camden. Strong recommendation!

Flawless Sunday roast!!!! Great wine list too

Since it's renovation, it's a fantastic venue now with a glass box up on top and and a gorgeous outdoor section on the canal. Well worth the visit.

Smashing Sunday Roast … exceptional. George is an absolute gent. What a great team member!! Highly recommend.

Beautifully refurbished (their curator of art & photography has done an excellent job), friendly staff, dog friendly, relaxing spaces indoors and out, feels more like a boutique art hotel than a Camden pub where Granny used to religiously go for her bingo night but then Camden is changing, it's cultural anarchical working class character ebbing away.

Beautiful pub, with great cocktails and selection of beer. The service was great and the outdoor area is beautiful and overlooks the canal.

Outstanding place, just a short walk from st pancras and kings cross stations, well worth a detour.

Stopped for a quick pint on the terrace in the sunshine 🌞 will come back & possibly stop for a bite to eat

I was so happy to see this pub open again. I’ve been coming to the constitution for years and enjoying its canal side terrace so was upset when it closed down. It’s a stunning pub and the roof terrace is gorgeous. Lovely selection of cocktails and the spicy marg is excellent. I absolutely hated the atmosphere since it’s reopened. I’ve been a few times and thought maybe it’s just busy. Last night I came with some girlfriends for dinner and some drinks. It’s overrun with loud bratty twenty somethings who just ruined the whole patio. We ended up leaving after our burger and only having one cocktail. We weren’t the only people who were annoyed and we saw lots of other people leave. It’s just so noisy and feels like a grown up crèche now. We went to a pub opposite for a bit and then thought we’d come back for a nightcap and god it was like a nightclub! Pounding dance music and screaming twenty year olds. The pub itself is really beautiful and the staff are really nice and super friendly; it’s just sadly lost all its charm and quirks and it’s not somewhere I enjoy, but then again maybe it’s not a pub for 40 year olds. Such a shame and it’s a few minutes from my flat but I doubt it’s somewhere I’ll go anymore.

Classy pub by the canal, can't wait for our next visit. Love the quiz on a Wednesday evening!!

The closure and renovation was well worth it. Great food and wine choices at reasonable prices, friendly staff, large pub garden, fab location, great decor. Couldn't fault, have recommended to friends and will definitely be back.

Sunday lunch was outstanding and the staff were so friendly. Great beer garden right on the canal too.

Really gorgeous pub on the river, the garden and conservatory are such a nice addition. Staff were friendly and helpful with anything we needed. A group of us went for drinks but would definitely come back for food another time, the menu looked great

Best Bloody Mary’s in Camden apart from Dave’s at Eles Head.

Wonderful atmosphere inside and on the 2 beautiful balconies. We only came for drinks but the food also looked delicious and beautifuly served. Editing this to say we returned multiple times to enjoy the wonderful summer atmosphere and the delicious food.

Fancy and relaxing place to have a drink and a snack close to Camden. They also serve bigger dishes, but I just ordered a starter, as I wasn't that hungry. I liked the frozen strawberry daiquiri I ordered (11£). The started costed 6£.

First visit since the makeover and really impressed with the new Constitution. The beer garden overlooking the canal is a perfect place to relax and enjoy the sunshine and drink proper reasonably priced draught beer and other drinks. Hope they provide live music again soon.

I give 5 stars because I can't give a higher score. A very nice guy attended to us in Spanish. Plus the food was very good.

Beautiful pub, just so unjustifiably expensive. £6.85 for a Guinness? Can’t be charging that in Camden..

Good food, good treatment and very good attention. Very good recommendations and also in Spanish. We hope to repeat

I attended premises to do some work as I'm an engineer. Spoke to a gentleman called Ben and was very helpful to me as I'd never been there before. What a very delightful chap. With that aside what a brilliant pub good scenery outside. Beautiful inside and out. All the best paul.

Massively improved with the uplift.

Newly renovated and nice looking pub, food and drinks selection is good. Would recommend dropping by.

Brilliant pub right on the side of the canal

Great venue...BUT My friend ordered the extremely overpriced and overcooked burger with cold fries, I ordered the fish pie which arrived 15mins after my friend's burger. The fish pie was mainly a bowl of overpriced mash potato with the occasional flake of one of the fish as described. Not worth the money. I guess the prices are to pay for the extensive refurbishment.

Drank some real ales with friends. Just visiting.

Had fun with friends . I personaly drink youngs original . Original food menu is there and seems like the new head chef added some tasty seasonal items . Worth a try .

Great food, wicked cocktails, and the staff are so attractive. I mean attractive*. I mean attentive** Love it so much I’ve been back every week since I first wandered in!

Absolutely love the revamped Constitution. Been walking past the building for years and always hoped that the pub and beer garden overlooking the canal will reopen one day. We was not disappointed. There's a lovely selection of ales and summer cocktails.

We love this pub! Always such a great atmosphere, delicious food and cocktails. The staff are always friendly and efficient and they go out of their way to make the drinks look beautiful!

Came in for a quick meal with my friend the other day and loved the short rib croquettes and the stone bass. Watching the sun set in the beer garden absolutely made my day. Good pub 👍

Great food and cocktails! loved the rooftop terrace and the staff is friendly.

Newly refurbished with 3 different levels, 2 with outdoor and indoor areas. Decent menu including oysters, steak etc. Downside is it's a bit on the loud side with underwhelming music And a bit personality less

The atmosphere is very nice. Clean bathrooms. Was a bit pricey. Ordered a medium sized wine but it was just a regular amount 🫠 Wanted to sit outside, the free table under the umbrella was very dirty filled with plates and napkins. It took them a very long while to try and clean the table. It wasn’t cleaned compeletely anyways. Someone just took the trash but didn’t clean the table :(

Excellent pub with amazing cocktails. One of the best pubs in Camden

Great pub quiz. On a Wednesday night. Bar staff are exceptional. Friendly. Courteous. Great night to be recommended to all. Highly recommend the beef croquettes.

Found by accident as we were walking to Camden along the canal. It was that good we never got to Camden and spent my birthday there. We sat on the outdoor terrace on the first floor overlooking the canal. The food is excellent and very reasonably priced as are the drinks.The staff were very friendly even though they were very busy.We will definitely go back as this place is amazing

Didn’t try the food, but it looks fine. Great place to hang out with friends, even large groups and soak up the sun in the garden. It’s on the canal and a short bounce from Camden train.

Lovely glow-up of this old local stalwart. Beautifully thought through especially the glass terrace with the roof that opens up and the terrace overlooking the canal. Staff are lovely and very dog-friendly.

On the warmest night of the year sitting up on the roof terrace overlooking the canal. Great cold keg beers and some bar snacks was ideal London evening.

had a booking for our friends surprise birthday and had an amazing time, staff were super friendly and the food was incredible! didn’t manage to catch everyone’s names but shoutout to Desi, Jamie, Tara, Stepho and Ben (apologies if i misspell any names) :)

Had thThe fish and chips with curry sauce was sweet like honey, which ruined it a bit for me. The fish was also bland,

What a great venue looks fantastic. A few more parasols on the outside area would really help . Staff are great 😊

Stefano and Jamie were so amazing! They gave my friends and I excellent service, made the most incredible drinks, and went above and beyond to make sure we had the best time. Will definitely be back and thank you so much!!!

I ordered two mojitos, and they were so bad we almost had to spit them out—probably the worst mojitos we've ever had. We also got some croquettes, which tasted like plastic chips. To make matters worse, the server was too busy chatting with friends to attend to us properly. Overall, it was a terrible experience.

Walked along the canal from St Pancras to Camden and came across the Constitution. Service was good, with nice beer and good snacks. Sat on the outdoor terrace overlooking the canal which had a nice relaxed feel about it. The pub was very clean with a variety of rooms. Definitely worth a visit.

We had a lovely dinner with drinks on the top floor. It's a beautiful venue right by the canal and we were well looked after by Jack! Also, the fish pie was amazing!

Simon was especially nice. Great pub.

OMG this place is unbelievable since reopening. So so good

absolutely amazing!!! service was great, the food was delicious (definitely try the mushroom pate), and the beer garden was absolutely stunning. was such a beautiful evening and everything was perfect. we didn’t get the name of our server, but the blonde gentleman with the glasses was such a vibe and was so welcoming. definitely coming back!

Well appointed bar. Friendly bar staff. Far price. Excellent facilities. Heavy rock music far too loud on in house sound system hence we left after one drink

The Constitution is quite honestly the best place I have been to! Absolutely beautiful on all 3 floors! Yes 3 Floors!! The food served was beyond exceptional. I had the stone bass which was absolutely out of this world and to eat it sitting in the sun overlooking the canal was a dream come true! All the staff were super friendly and the service was truly excellent. I really can’t fault it in any way and would thoroughly recommend a visit!!

Amazing pub, cozy downstairs pub with live music, beer garden overlooking the lock, glass fronted restaurant at the top....could easily be one of the best Sunday Roasts in London!

No chance of getting serviced, terrible. Booked a table, waited for 45 minutes but didn’t even get a chance to order drinks or food 0/5

Great for a quick after work drink and a bite to eat too.

Amazeballs ! Banging beer, great food ! Looks like it’s had a makeover and boy it is grand ! Service great proper funky team not stuck up so suits Camden area ! Deffo be back much love

Great pub in amazing location! The rooftop terrace is absolutely stunning. Gnocchi is a must try dish with a wine.The guys were friendly and attentive. Definitely coming back soon.

What a stunning pub! Came here for a drink at the end of my walk by the canal and was pleasantly surprised by all the veggie options and it was delicious! Can’t wait to come back and enjoy the terrace!

Such slow service in an empty pub completely ignored by the person behind the bar I had to go to the downstairs bar and there was no one serving there as well what a joke nice beer garden

Great location and beautiful terrace for summer. 🍻🍸🌞

Bit more on the expensive side but such a nice unexpected surprise. From the outside it look just like any other pub but they have beautiful terrace and many beer options.

A hidden gem! Looks like they’ve done a massive refurb from the previous pub. So nice to have a new pub in the neighbourhood. Great food, beautiful interior design and super dog friendly. 5 stars from my friends and I!

I am a Camden & Chalk Farm local since 2007 and haven't thought about The Constitution in years despite regular walks along the canal near it's beer garden entrance. It was an old beat up Camden pub I drank in many years ago and had forgotten about. Forgetful pubs dont last and it turns out this one closed in 2018. Walking by the canal a couple of weeks ago I noticed new white beer garden umbrellas peaking out of the old patio area so I took a look quick detour up the garden steps and my god - the transformation! So I booked a table for 4 to try out the Sunday lunch this weekend and it's great. We had a bunch of starters - beef croquettes, mushroom pate, and mussels, and then there was a pork belly roast, a vegan roast, and a sharing chicken roast dinner for 2. You are looking at around £10 for a starter and £20ish for the roast. It was all great - in an area where chain pubs (and this one is a Youngs pub) all frustratingly have the same menu (I'm talking The Engineer, The Queens, The Washington etc) so it's great to go somewhere where they have something genuinely different. They have spent 4 million on the renovation and it shows - beautiful windows looking out onto the canal, loads of room inside, a retractable roof for their top floor for whenever it gets sunny. It is a really impressive renovation, it is NOT the Constitution of old, its a 21st Century gastropub and a good one. Totally dog friendly which is also a welcome addition to the 'what can I do with my dog on a weekend), and yes it's family friendly and our friends with a baby managed fine regarding space to park their buggy etc. We spent a happy afternoon there and will be going again. It is criminally under advertised to be honest as I only saw it by chance and didn't know it had been open since March. I have seen reviews saying the staff were rude but everyone we spoke with and dealt with were super friendly and accommodating. We had only been in The Spaniards Inn the day before after a long dog walk on Hampstead Heath and the service there was TERRIBLE (constantly getting drinks orders wrong, no attentive staff etc, underserved on the portion side a very expensive chateubriand steak) so if you recognise the pubs Ive mentioned and you are looking for somewhere new in Camden with a great gastro pub chef go and check it out, it's our new favourite :)

It deserves a high score, excellent service, very clean and well-kept place, very good food for being in London, considering that I am Spanish, really a great experience, so much so that I have repeated and I have only confirmed what was said, very good and highly recommended . Congratulations to the team and I hope it continues to be 5 stars.

Really nice pub! Friendly staff and a fantastic outside area by the canal. There are 3 floors to choose from, including a cosy cellar bar. Will be Back!

Great wine and excellent food. So refreshing to have such great service

Lovely pub. Great atmosphere, great location.

On a sunny day there is no better place to be! Very popular venue so arrive early or you may struggle to find seating. We started in the opening conservatory for nibbles then, as the sun reached its peak, retired to the canal side bar. As I often write - it's the staff that can make or break a venue. The team here are superb. Thank you.

Classy pub with great service. Cozy interiors design.

Just had a fantastic meal, great cocktails, highly reccomend!

Had lunch here and the menu was very different and refreshing compared to most pub food, fantastic vegetarian options! The service was top notch too. Huge place with many floors and spacious seating, highly recommended 👌

Typical Youngs pub. Smart but soulless.

Simply put......this is a stunning pub... We only popped in on the way through and loved the time we spent there. Far enough away from the main circuit so it was pleasantly full but not crowded. The team were very friendly. Loved the music. The food was awesome. We will be back.

Not tried food yet but music too loud

The fish and chips are pretty good the fried chickpeas dish was beautiful but looked better than it tasted. You order from your table with an app that we were never able to use. There is a lovely view from the upper dining room as well as a patio.

The new conversation has been done really well, so much space and the terrace is wonderful. The bar team really lovely. There's a few events such as a quiz and chess club. Of course the prices are quite steep to match.

A shame - an expensive refit has left what was once a shabby but great local institution somewhat bland. Nice terrace by the canal is lovely on a sunny day. But otherwise it’s not got much to recommend it.

Very disappointed, I am a local resident and was very excited for the re-opening of this pub, I've been a number of times and every time I have found the prices to be ridiculous and extortionate. Along with this the staff have been very unprofessional and rude. There is no character to this pub anymore and unfortunately it will still find business just down to its fantastic location and attractive interior

Really nice what they've done with it, for such a great location by the canal I'm surprised it's only just been redone. Haven't tried the food but the venue is interesting and varied, and smells amazing coming out of the kitchen.

I'm with Lucas Originally a 5 star review by me What was a lively proper local. A rarity in this area. Music in the basement. A vibrant clientele. Now all very modernised and smart but soulless and homogonised like other Youngs conversions. All of a gastro type. Have popped in and out again. A shame. Well done Pubs of Distinction.

I have visited the Constitution twice in the past months. Based on the great food and experience we had then, I decided to take my visiting family from abroad here to celebrate my birthday. I booked a table a few weeks in advance. When we arrived, it was quite busy. The person behind the bar mentioned that I had to go upstairs, where I was approached by a male member of staff. After he got a few chairs for the table from downstairs (as the actual chairs were taken by a large group next to us), he only mentioned that we had two hours to eat, and that he needed the table after that. I felt this was very unwelcoming. The member of staff did not greet us in any other way. Whilst we had dinner, the member of staff appeared to be quite moody and was unfriendly. I did not feel at ease. Due to the fact that the place was incredibly busy at the time, with multiple small tables having many people around it, it was very difficult to have a conversation. The place seems great to go for a drink on a nice summer day, but is unfortunately not the place for a sit-down dinner and catch-up (which is a pity, as the food is fantastic!). Although I usually prefer to speak to staff directly when something is not right, I felt that this was not possible at the time, due to the attitude of the person that was serving us. I was very disappointed for spending my birthday here. The experience was very rushed and we left after our main course and one drink. I may come back at some point for a drink, but would not really come back anymore to have dinner in the same setting.

Beautiful new pub with X3 levels, including a terrace and basement bar situated on the canal, but as it's super pricey and has limited real ales it's got to be 4 stars.

Nice little place. Newly reopened

The Constitution has recently had a major overhaul, which is quite 'marmite'; you will either hate the fact that it has gone quite upmarket, with food prices to match, or love the fact its not another 'old man' pub, with sticky tables and clientele to match. I've been in a few times now, and the young staff team are friendly and helpful, although a couple could do with a touch more training. But, we've all been new in a job at some point. The pub has been designed to look that kind of 'new modern', e.g. lots of wooden finishes and glass for extra light. I think they have extended their outside area. They seem to be trying hard to create fun event nights, but the 'gig venue' feel, that the place once had, has gone. Its new, and they're finding their feet, but its still a nice place for a drink, and has a good amount of space inside, so it's a great place during the grey days. Give it a go. I think you'll like it.

Lovely riverside pub. Great outdoor area!

We have been a few times since the opening. The place looks beautiful and the roof terrace is a great addition. Every time we've been, the food has been incredible! The lamb shank pie js to die for! They service came a long way since the opening. The management is very responsive to feedback. Can get a bit loud, but it is a pub afterall and it's great to see the local so busy! If you prefer dinner without having to shout across the table, downstairs is probably a better option.

The food was excellent and the service prompt, friendly and helpful. We were sitting in the rooftop terrace which was a little loud due to other groups but that's Saturday night in Camden for you, the view was lovely though. Would highly recommend!!

What a change. Well done to the designer who came up with the design for the place. I can't wait to sit on the terrace in summer. The pub was buzzing when we visited on Friday night. Nearly all the tables were taken, even on the ground floor terrace, that's a great achievement considering the temperature of only 10 degrees. It has a good food selection as well as drinks. The service was quick and the food tasty. We will definitely come back. It's great to have a nice local pub.

The renovation of this once great pub is an act of cultural vandalism. The old Constitution was a community and arts hub. It is now a soulless monstrosity with all the atmosphere of an airport bar. What a waste.
