on the 16/01/20 myself and a group 6 friends were refused entrace by the security guard on the front door , we were all between the ages of 23-39 with ID and were were given no details on this reason. I politely asked the security if I could speak to the manager as I was curious as to what the problem was, The doorman then refused and said to me "why are you causing trouble". I have been coming to worlds end now for well over 10 years and never have I been met with such rudeness & unwillingness to exsplian a situation , I tried calling the premises to ask to speak to the manager but nobody answered the phoneso left a voicemail and have still not recieved a return call (we arrived around 8.10pm). read more

The pub as defined purely by the drinking area isn't really as bad as my rating implies. This is actually a handy well-known pub for meeting people before going elsewhere in Camden, due to it's proximity to the station, although you might want to specify what part of the pub you are going to be in as it is quite large. Besides the huge main part of the pub there is even a carpeted side section that looks more like a proper corner boozer. They serve a couple of real ales too, although I did get a bit of a short measure due to the head she left on the pint! I get the feeling the ale is a bit of an afterthought too so is probably not always in the best condition. So why the low rating? The toilets. How can you rate a pub highly when you wouldn't want to spend too long there? They..aredisgusting. There are no toilet seats for a start, but the vilest fact was that the whole urinal was surrounded by a pool of liquidindicating either a leak or dozens of people with the aim of a Scottish centre forward. It had clearly been there for a while, long enough for a number of flies to decide to make this strange underground pond their new home read more

A pub located in a very convenient place! Slap bang in the middle of Camden and right opposite the tube station! It looks like your average small pub on the outside but on the inside it's absolutely ginormous! It's never ending! I love the layout and the decor inside. It's got a real community feel about it. read more

I'd agree that it is a strange mix in here... but not gonna lie, I kinda like it. If nothing else, this place offers great people watching. Though I must say, it is one of those bars where when you walk in (girls, you'll know what I mean) you sort of feel...eyes....watching....kinda creepy. A wee bit flattering? Maybe? But mostly just creepy. Other than the eclectic mix of "types," and its massive size... meh, its a pub. I'll keep searching for my fave spot in Camden. Side note: I WAS however, impressed with the bar tender. He could stack two pints pouring, walk away, and come back in perfect timing, whilst doing about 4 other things at the same time. I know many a good barkeep can do such things, but it never ceases to amaze me. read more

Three stars for the atmosphere, which was needlessly awkward. At the same time, it was an experience worth trying out, although ultimately disappointing. I've never been in a place that has a group of businessmen, school boys who get carded, slutty girls and friends just looking to chill all at once. It seemed to be a place where people who did not know where to go ended up. Not to mention, the beer was expensive and the bartenders took a long time to get back to me. They don't have a sense of who's been there, but who is standing in front of the cash register. Not to mention they're a bit slow moving, considering there were so many people! Ambiance was strange. Such a large place but it felt empty yet full, probably due to the awkward interior design. Some places were packed but if you walked around the bar, it would be completely empty. Quite deceiving. read more

Here's to you World's End. 11 years of drinking on the day that Douglas Adams died and this is the first bar that the bartender didn't even blink an eye when we asked for 3 pints each at lunch time. Six of those pints were even the hand pulled kind, I personally would be a little annoyed by that. Having only been past once on a bus, I knew this would be perfect for our Douglas Adams day. I looked at the website and new it would be huge but that didn't prepare me for how big this bar actually is! We sat up front in the more traditional pub part, but I would've loved to sit what I guess in the middle area with all the sky lights. Seemed to be a good mix of people when we were there. A guy in a suit, an older gentleman with all of his coins sorted, younger people., etc. We got there right at opening so I didn't see anything wrong with the bathrooms. Bare minimum, yes, filthy, no. Hopefully next trip to England we can make it back here for the night time and see what it's like when it's a little busier. But till then, Yay for day drinking at the world's end! read more

They kicked us out at 10.30pm!!!! Yes it was Sunday but really??? That was disappointing!! :( Other than that it's actually quite a cool place especially if you like Rock. It's not the best place if you haven't got the loudest voice and you want to tell someone the story of your life but it's alright for a drink or two in an easy-going environment. Bar staff is pretty cool but when they announced last round and we asked for another drink just a minute later, they wouldn't give us another drink :( booo.... Therefore I can't give more than 3 stars, and believe me I would have loved to do that simply for the fact that they played many Nirvana songs and I loooooove Kurt! But I guess I love drinks more. read more

Located close to the train station so a good meeting place for one thing Do not be taken in by the small frontage as this place keeps going back further and further with seats and tables here and another bar area there. Up stairs and down stairs there is so much to this place The large back bar is my favourite as the roof is high so you feel like you have stepped into an outdoor area especially when the sun is out and natural light floods in There is a small open mezzanine area above the bar which you get to via a cool spiral staircase Plenty on offer behind the bar and some tasty bar food too And the music, oh the music. Just the right amount of cool without over doing the volume read more

Ordered Burnt Ends and Chilli Fries. If you close your eyes and imagine you are in KC as you eat the Burnt Ends you quickly realize that no self respecting BBQ officianado would agree these are Burnt Ends. But, they are very good. Get them anyway. Same with the chilli fries. Chilli has no beans...so, this is meat soup. However, it is s very good meat soup over your fries. The food is better than most of the pub food we have had during our visit. Might have gotten 5 stars with a better naming system. The beer is excellent as is the staff. Worth a quick pint if your in the area. read more

The World's End is a *huge* pub in Camden, right next to the Underworld. I pretty much go there whenever I'm about to head into a gig at the aforementioned Underworld. When I say this place is huge, it really is huge. It's got a sort of "dirty rocker" vibe about it, which I quite like. Apart from this though, I've never been really excited or overwhelmed by this place. It's perhaps a little *too* big and therefore lacks in atmosphere. I guess I just prefer, cosier little pubs and old man's boozers but this place is a mixed bag with rockers, Camden tourists and all sorts, making it a little empty in feel... read more

Huge pub ideal for having a beer or lunch after a tiring visit of Camden market. read more

The World's End - The world's end - Pubs Near Me - London, XGL

See all

I used to be a bit of a metalhead in my youth so I quite enjoyed the trip down memory lane that this pub afforded me. I've only ever been in here in the afternoons but even then it still has a pretty lively atmosphere. Music is always blaring and live bands are frequent. Situated right next to Camden tube and just above The Underworld club/venue, World's End attracts the metal-oriented primarily but is just as welcoming to non head-bangers. It's also quite amssive consisting of two main areas; the smaller more pub-like area in the corner and the extremely spacious main bar. Drinks are fairly cheap and they have a decent range of cheap and cheerful English grub. Good place for an evening out or somewhere to tie one on after a shopping trip. read more

Not bad at all. Stopped by here after other place I went to was too crowded. This seemed more laid back and it was the music that pulled me in. The staff is super friendly and drinks are affordable. I like that this place is calm and for a mature crowd because downtown Camden can be a hot mess. read more

Giant dive bar. The bathrooms were disgusting. No toilet seats. Also no toilet paper. My husband said the men's room was disgusting as well. Disappointed that a bad that size didn't have more selection. Price was OK. Staff was available but not very friendly. Overall good a quick beer with out a glass I would go back. But for a proper pint nope. read more

How hard is it to clean toilets? Seriously! I love this pub. I like the little old bit at the front, which is great for a few beers and a catch up. But you can always pop into the huge chasm of a pub at the back for something more lively - although your chances of getting served there are slim. For some reason the bar is shaped in a U and it doesn't occur to the staff that other people might be waiting on the other side. Really annoying. I'd go here more often if it wasn't for the fact that the service is shit in the evening and the toilets are the most disgusting I've ever seen in London. read more

The Skinny: Worth a try but there's other more low key but fun bars out there. This one just happens to be right outside the Camden Town Station. The Fat: Drinks are a bit pricey but that's the price you pay to say you've been to the world's end or the end of the world? The atmosphere as mentioned by my other fellow yelpers is quite an experience. You do get a rather colorful mixture of punkers, businessmen, old geezers, housewives and all sorts mixing around. There are broken glass on the floor and bottles/glasses pile up all over the place. Just try it once but that should be enough. read more

If you are a true Londoner and, like me, aren't a big fan of big tourist groups on a night out then I suggest you give this place a miss. There is a buzz about it but it's a 'just got to London and want to be friendly to absolutely everyone I meet using the few English words I know'' buzz which can sometimes be annoying if you just want to keep yourself to yourself. It's absolutely cavernous inside, if you get a bit tipsy then go to the toilet with a friend otherwise you will stumble away from your group and might never find them again! But no, in all serious this is a half-decent place for a drink if you are stuck for where to go but in my opinion there are dozens of other, cooler, cheaper, more happening pubs in Camden than this one. Don't be lazy and go here just because it's right near the station! read more

I've been here many many times, its actually just the perfect place for the epic size that it is. This will be a short review, basically if your looking for a pub, with more space, go in here, its cosy at the front, but there is back bar, with an upstairs, which is airy, and fun, with bizaare mural on the wall. The vibe seems to be old man bar meets metal bar, meets cooky brighton bar. It serves alcohol, its always got nice staff, i've always managed to find seats and its literally opposite the station. Go here if you're finishing a trip with camden/zoo, or ending one. read more

I think of this as one place you HAVE to visit, just because, and when you go ther you wonder why. The service is disgusting, both behind the bar and at the tables. The space is large, but badly planned and you feel as if you're being chanelled to the door all the time. The bar is ok, but nothing spectacular and the craowd is what you would expect from the more touristy parts of Camden. Not really my cup of tea :( read more

Like the Tardis, it doesn't look that big from the outside, but when you enter, it feels much bigger on the inside. They were blaring loud thrash music when I stopped in for a pint (not a bad thing in my book) yet very busy. The waitstaff was constantly moving from person to person without ever really catching up. They could also use some additional seating as it seemed like more people wanted to sit than were able. I'd come here again when I visit Camden market, that's for sure. read more

I love this pub! its in Camden Town and full of people with eclectic taste in music, bright clothes, skinny jeans and everyone else. Regularly has bands playing and plays the best music! one of camdens most famous pubs and also for the famous. the atmosphere is hipnotic and the decor of the place is amazing its like little shop windows displaying all sorts! it can get very busy on the weekends so expect to stand but on a weekday its you can find a cozy place to sit So worth a visit if your ever in Camden Town read more

Massive pub right opposite Camden tube.Gets busy but as theres no music lacks atmosphere but a nice place to go with friends if you're in a chatty mood. And your right in the middle of Camden so if you decide to move it's a great starting point. Theres a indie or goth club next door in the basement but since that's not my thing ive never been but you can get an idea of the kind of people that frequent the pub. Reasonably cheap beer, and the occasional eye candy make this an ok place to go on a Sunday afternoon/evening. read more

Quite telling when most people mention the toilets, which are terrible. Fairly good selection of beers, not too expensive and absolutely huge inside, but that doesn't stop it from getting absolutely rammed at the weekend. Great interior, but fairly alternative customers and not really to my taste - prefer something a little more relaxed somewhere nearby. read more

The bar itself has a sort of old west saloon meets mad max hard core grunge feel and is filled with patrons far less hard core than the ambiance and heavy metal music playing would sugst. The place is one to be experienced as it looks just like a little pub when you walk in and ends up being quite large inside filld to the brim with a motley colorful collection of people. The average age rage seemed to be from 20-28, but there were people spilling over that range on either end. Heck, if you're in Camden Town, I'd check it out... but plan on heading somewhere else after a drink or two, it's not THAT special. read more

I ended up at the worlds end on Saturday night! OMG! Well pub was ok the usual camden crowd and music was cool . Met some funny people and have to say that people do get up to all sorts in here. Dying to go to the loo i headed over to the ladies where there was a huge queue and i was told that this was the only toilet in the whole place! The toilets were rank! but to be honest i wouldnt expect anything else. When i went into the cubile it was a metal bowl (in the shape of a toilet) covered in probably everything gross you could think of, but i just had to go! when i was queuing outside some girls were even coming out of the mens which was aparently a trillion times worse than the womens! Well needless to say i definatley didn't use the mens. What i liked about it is that you just get every type of person in there so is quite entertaining at times. read more

The Worlds end is one of the cooler venue's in Camden. It's a massive pub, that suits different customers depending on where you are in the pub. The main part of the pub is very rocky/goth, and its dark with very unusual art-work on the walls. The music is quite heavy, but adds to the atmosphere. They have a main bar if you fancy a bit of a brighter location, and the older folk/locals tend to drink in here. There's a wide range of drinks, and they also do food. read more

THIS-IS-THE-BEST-PUB-IN-CAMDEN-TOWN-FULL-STOP. They play the best music in all of camden town and surprisingly attract all kinds of people. I never quite understood what music they play on what day, so sometimes it's almost all rock classics, sometimes it's Norwegian black metal all night long! :) - and for some reason that doesn't seem to scare anyone away. There's a lot of space, which means that the bouncers won't sent you away when you are coming with 20 or more people. Drinks are alright and not too expensive. Bar staff is friendly, if it's really crowded they could be a bit quicker, people are here to drink. read more

The fact that this bar is large (sometimes you even get a table) and right by the tube stop makes it the standard place for rockers to meet up in Camden, though other types are often seen there too. The decor is certainly interesting (done up like an outside street), the music is good (if you like rock music that is) and the beer OK, though I often have to resort to bottles if the Speckled Hen runs out as the only other regular is the dreaded Green King "IPA". Seems expensive to me but then I don't live in London. read more

The World's End is a fun pub to visit, and a good place to meet friends as it's become a bit of a landmark. However, I haven't always had good experiences in here because sometimes there is trouble outside. Having said that, the staff and clientele of the pub are all of a good sort, and usually happy to help. It's a great place to pick up flyers for gigs, and to visit after a gig, as it's very close to the tube station. If you want a fun and noisy night out then World's End can offer you that. read more

When I was visiting London my friend took me to Camden Market and then off to The Worlds End for a few drinks before heading back to Central London. A very roomy pub if you go further back, but it's a bit dingy looking and dull back there too. After one drink there, we opted to sit closeer to the front door. Seats were a bit uncomfortable, but the beer was OK and not too pricey compared to Edinburgh prices. The toilets were situated in a strange place, but other than that, a great place to visit. read more

This is certainly one of the biggest pubs in the area but surely not the best. If you are Douglas Adams fan probably you will like it but if you look for a quite place to drink a few beers you will not. Overcrowded, overpriced and loud, full with teenagers and tourists, not my favourite combination. The toilets are so unpleasant that I avoid drinking third beer when I was here. We wait long for the drinks and the food was crappy. The only plus is that it is very near to the tube station. read more

A great pub with excellent atmosphere. Grab a pint (or three) of bitter and catch a load of some of the best people-watching in London. And yes: The toilets are as bad as they say. read more

Looks small on the outside but is HUGE! Lot of beers to try and great music! Nice seats and tables upstairs and always nice people in there! I recommend!!! read more

My favourite Camden pub. Cracking old place. Usually have good music playing. There's a lot of room, interesting interior design, balcony type seating area too. Service is consistently good. Crowd is electric, atmosphere is pretty relaxed. Always go here if I'm in the area. read more

I. LOVE. THIS. PUB! If you can call it a pub that is! It's more like a pub-metropolis; a village of bars and seating areas. Apparently the influence for the Cornetto trilogy film of the same name, you could easily walk past it on the corner of Camden High Street as it just looks like any other place. However, when you get inside it's so much bigger than it seems. With the layout of a Victorian market place, the decor has all been kept to keep it reasonably authentic, with old clocks, stained-glass windows, cobbles and shop signs. As a history buff, it's the kind of place I like, especially as there's a genuine history about the place. We sat in the mezzanine part of the pub at the top, and snuggled into the comfy sofas with a pint. The drinks weren't too expensive, with a great range of beers at the huge bar. Everyone seemed quite friendly as well, with groups sharing tables, and there was a great mix of people from students to elderly - true pub atmosphere. I fully recommend this pub to anyone and enjoy every visit. read more

We spent several rad nights at The World's End during DesertFest. It was much bigger than I thought it would be. When it was "at capacity," I was impressed that there was still breathing room in the place--unlike American bars. I picked up a couple of t-shirts to bring back as souvenirs and they are in regular rotation to remind me of the big beers and tiny whiskeys. read more

Gritty, rough round the egdes rock joint, all exposed bricks, painted plasterwork and graffittied tables. Edgy and uncompromising crowd, you'll find no contrivance or pretension here. Yes, the music is loud, but not so loud that you can't hear the buzz of conversation in the place. Good vibe to while away the evening in over your choice of tipple...it could do with expanding its choice of rums though. ;) read more

I used to go here a lot when I was a student. The reason I stopped? My friend and I got hit on by some 15 year olds (we were 1.5x as old). Not that this place only has high schoolers, loads of other random groups as well... but none that are appealing to me. It's a long wait to get a drink, the drinks are overpriced, and the only reason I used to come here was cause I was new to London and I didn't know any better! If you need a drink around Camden, I'd recommend going down the street to Fifty-five for their happy hour cocktails. read more

Honestly, this name is very fitting. I probably wouldn't go back to this place, even if we were at the World's End. Horrible music, loud, and gross. Never would I go back read more

Good pub to chill at, good crowd though it can get busy. It might not feel or look busy due to it's size but you'll soon notice it when trying to get a drink. Spekaing of the drinks it's a bit on the pricey side, a bit more than what I would expect to pay for a drink somewhere but it's London, the prices are generally stupidly high here anyway. I always like to pop in here for one when on a night out in Camden as it's not a bad place to start a night and it does Star, never a bad thing in my books. read more
