About The Lock Tavern
The Lock Tavern is one of Camden's best-known pubs, set on Chalk Farm Road in the NW1 8AJ postcode close to Camden Market and the canal lock. A black-fronted corner building topped with a roof terrace, it has long been a landmark of the area's music and drinking scene.
The pub hosts live music and DJs, welcomes dogs and LGBTQ+ guests, serves cocktails and spreads across several spaces including its rooftop and outdoor seating. That mix makes it as much a night-out destination as a daytime local.
It keeps late hours, open from midday every day and running until 1am on Friday and Saturday, with an 11:30pm close on Thursday and 11pm earlier in the week. Sunday winds down a little earlier at 10:30pm.
Right in the heart of Camden, it sits within a short walk of Camden Town and Chalk Farm stations and the cluster of bars and venues nearby, making it a natural anchor for a night in the area.
