The Ship Tavern - Camden

During our final day in London, we stumbled upon this restaurant for lunch and were pleasantly surprised. We were exploring the John Soane museum nearby and were in need of a meal. The restaurant had the exact look and ambiance we were hoping for, and the food exceeded our expectations. The chicken pie was delicious and the fish and chips were the best we had during our trip, especially after two disappointing meals at other restaurants.

The Oak room upstairs is a quirky and charming restaurant with a lot of character. The menu may be small, but the five different meals we ordered were all excellent. The dishes were well presented and delicious. However, I had a bit of a concern when it came to paying the bill. When I asked to see the bill, a waitress immediately brought over the card machine without showing me the breakdown of the charges. It turned out that we had been overcharged, including being billed for a bottle of wine instead of just a glass, and for a more expensive version of the red wine we had ordered. After questioning the charges, the bill was corrected and unnecessary items were removed, bringing the total down to just over £300. My advice would be to double-check your bill before paying.

I have over the years always gone to this pub for a drink when I am.in London. The last two weeks I have visited twice. I wish I had asked the Lovely Ladies there names who were working and gave the Pub Lovely warm feeling as though you were so welcome. I will describe you both as you were working together. One young Lady had a very short short haircut and the other Longer dark with Gold Highlights. Thank you both. was the chap who asked for an Amstel that was off and had the Heineken instead. Thank You.x

This restaurant is fantastic with excellent service! We enjoyed delicious cocktails and snacks. The ambiance is simply delightful.

Nestled down a side street behind Holborn tube is this lively studenty pub, certainly on a Saturday night. Nice, old wooden interior and good selection of beers on tap.
