Time to stop for a quick pint and some fish and chips. Nice atmosphere. Staff were attentive and the food and drinks were great.

Great location on the Northern end of the craziness that is Camden Town. 

Plenty of good outside seating in open air back area with table heaters and blankets and sheepskin seat covers. I needed these on a chilly Sunday mid-morning.

We came here for the traditional Sunday Roast with a recommended side of Cheesy Cauliflower. My vegan daughter had the vegan version of this roast. Everything was delicious and we had great service. Very filling food and these Sunday Roasts supposedly help alleviate hangovers from the night before.

They have outside rooftop seating but it was closed when we checked.

Great place to try for a nice meal. The pub in the front looked busy as well. I'd come back here again.

This place is conveniently located close to where I'm staying, so I've visited a few times. The staff is friendly and welcoming, we had a server recommend some drinks for us. I was pleasantly surprised to see a full vegan sunday roast option on the menu! The vegan sunday roast, although a bit expensive, was one of my favorite meals in London so far. They have an extensive drink menu that includes a variety of cocktails and more! It's a bit more expensive than what I like to spend on drinks, but the convenient location and super friendly staff make up for it. I'll be back!

This is probably the first pub I've been to In London that doesn't have a vegan or vegetarian roast on their menu. They were accommodating and made a roast for me with a veggie burger patty as the meat, but as there was no veggie gravy, it was a dry scene. What was most disturbing and disappointing was a waitress who wasn't wearing a mask. We asked one of the managers and he wasn't aware, but she never put one on and at the end he said she might have a disability so she can't wear one. Everyone has different tolerance levels. But buyer beware. Their toilet was also pretty unattended with toilet paper just lying around for everyone to pick up and touch and spread germs.

We walked several blocks to come here.  We were hungry.  We asked if they had table service and they said yes. We watched several employees walk by our table for 15 minutes.  We tried to get their attention.  After 20 minutes we walked out.  

Very strange for a four- star rated tavern.  Obviously not reflecting their service.

With roughly an hour to go before I had to set off towards Euston for my train, we headed into The Lock Tavern for a final drink of the weekend. After wandering around Camden Lock Market, it was the perfect distance between the market and the tube stop - great for that final stop, especially if you're unfamiliar with the area and don't want to venture too far afield.

Inside is quite standard pub decor, with some nice flowers in the middle of the tables and menus printed on brown paper. I must say, the food looked cracking; visiting on a Sunday meant it was predominantly roasts coming out of the kitchen, but options included a delicious sounding duck breast, and some of the biggest Yorkshire puddings London's probably seen.

Service was slow to start off with, obviously annoying me at first, until we realised that the huge table in the corner had all ordered coffees, much to the dismay of the one person behind the bar. When it did come round to our turn, drinks were poured quick as anything. 

It looks like there's more to explore upstairs and outside, and apparently some game machines built into the tables upstairs, which I'll be sure to revisit in the future.

I found a new favorite - Yorkshire pudding!  My cousin took me here for a "proper British Sunday roast" and it was delightful.  As for the Sunday Roast menu, there have a few variety of meat to choose from; I got the pork belly.  Another good spot to eat and extremely close to The Camden Lock.

I love the place I love the food I love the staff and eating with my wife. GOOD MEMORIES EVERY TIME.

And the prize for the hottest bar staff in London (although the Hoxton comes a respectable second) has got to go to the Lock Tavern. A beautiful pub with only slight indie inflections - remarkable considering the location - replete with outdoor seating, great food and, it's got to be said again, many, many ridiculously good looking people.

I once spotted Samantha Morton in here just after her star turn as a pre-cog in Minority Report but looking oh so sanguinely, casually, Camden. This is the kind of clientele this popular pub attracts: interesting, cool, sometimes self -consciously so, and with good reason. The Lock Tavern doesn't rest on its cool laurels however, the food is grand, the decor lovely. This has got to be the best pub in Camden.
