The Camden Head is a grade II listed building with a circular bar, etched glass windows and original mirrors.

Samuel Grammar, victualler was already listed in residence in 1792 and it is assumed that the pub dates from the building of Camden Street in 1767.

As well as hosting one of London’s busiest comedy shows throughout the week, the pub is open late at weekends.
