The Hawley Arms

Squeeze on your skinniest jeans & lace up your brogues: the preened indie kids at this cooler-than-school watering hole follow a strict dress code. Resurrected after burning to the ground in Camden’s 2008 fire, The Hawley Arms has shed its down-&-dirty interior & brushed up a bit – still retaining its unique sense of style, of course, with quirky musical artefacts scattered throughout the place. There are beers & lagers aplenty, plus a fair choice of wines that sit happily below £25. The food is equally low-key: a bumper range of Pieminster pies, fish & chips, Sunday roasts & moules-frites. Tune in for regular live music, & head for the roof terrace on sunny days.
