The Lyttelton Arms

You walk into the Lyttelton and immediately feel like you've stumbled into someone's local—the good kind, where regulars have their spots and the bar staff know what you want before you ask. Tucked right on Camden High Street, it's mercifully free from the tourist trap energy that plagues the neighbourhood. The real pull here is the beer selection: proper cask ales and a rotating tap list that suggests someone actually cares. The pub itself has that lived-in comfort of a place that's been doing this forever without needing to reinvent itself. Food-wise, it's straightforward—solid pub fare that won't disappoint, but you're really coming for the drink and the company.
