Camden Arms

Head down to La Belle Alliance Square and you'll find yourself in one of those proper pubs that reminds you why the British invented them in the first place. The Camden Arms feels genuinely lived-in—the kind of place where regulars know the bartenders' names and you can actually have a conversation without shouting over a DJ. There's a real ale selection worth exploring, and they take their food seriously without being precious about it. It's the sort of local that works whether you're after a quick pint after work, settling in for the evening, or bringing mates for something more substantial.
