Junction Tavern
Camden
Junction Tavern is the kind of local in Kentish Town that builds its evenings around things that get people talking. Quiz nights are the sort of fixture that pulls the same crowd back, because the point here isn't the venue, it's who's in the room. Tucked away enough you find it rather than stumble through the door by accident, which is exactly how these places stay good. A proper north London spot where character comes from who shows up, not from the interior design. Want something low-key that doesn't try too hard. This is the room you'll become a regular in.

The Junction Tavern is a Victorian pub on the corner of Fortess Road and Lady Somerset Road in Kentish Town, north London, dating from the 1880s.
