The Lock Tavern Bar / Live Music Venue / Pub

Camden Town / Islington, London –

Owned by DJ Jon Carter, Lock Tavern is an illustrious, super-hip Camden pub that hosts some of the best live music and DJ events in London.

A modern take on the classic pub, the two-level space features wood aplenty, dim lighting, and comfortable leather sofas, but the most impressive part is the two outside areas, one upstairs and one down, both of which offer a generous, semi-sheltered space from which to enjoy the balmy days of summer.

Weekend nights draw a considerable crowd of animated and fun-loving hipsters who show off their dance moves to everything from Japanese pop to dirty funk, which makes for a boisterous and lighthearted atmosphere.

Lock Tavern isn’t all about late-night revelry though – Sunday afternoons are given over to the more laid-back activities of lounging, enjoying a hearty meal, and foot-tapping to an earthier beat.
