About

The Elephants Head in London is a vibrant spot known for its Victorian charm and lively atmosphere. Ideal for a casual catch-up with friends, this traditional pub offers a cozy yet fashionable setting. Visitors enjoy a range of drinks, from refreshing cocktails and wine to locally-loved beer. Despite being budget-friendly, the drinks are noted for their slightly premium pricing.

Live music and performances amp up the energy, and guests can even make use of a nostalgic jukebox or enjoy tunes from the DJ on weekends. While the place boasts a long bar and plenty of seating, expect it to be bustling, especially with its popularity among tourists.

Though quick service is a plus, feedback has pointed out room for improvement in the maintenance of toilets and the handling of security issues. Additionally, visitors have noted early closing times and some service-related hiccups. Despite these drawbacks, The Elephants Head remains a go-to for an entertaining night out in the city.

Good pub! Had a Dance, had a laugh. Bit overrated cause eceryone knows it’s Amys pub but definitely worth going for a Pint or two.

Lovely pub that's very close to Camden Town tube so expect it to be busy. No food offering but good selection of drinks though pricing is on the high side but so are most other places nearby. Plenty of seating but often it's a struggle to find a free space due to the number of people present. Service is quick and the staff are fine. Live music takes place and if going for this get there early as it does get busy. The sounds good, no smoke machine which is great and you can actually see the artists as there is lightning. They also have DJ sets too

Unfassbar dreckige und kaputte Toilette, und das bereits am Donnerstag Nachmittag! Ekelhaft! Die WC waren verstopft, schrecklich dreckig und die Türen waren kaputt. Es gab nicht mal Seife oder Desinfektion, die Spender waren abgebrochen! Wir haben unsere Drinks ausgetrunken und sind gegangen. Nie wieder!
