The last time I was here this pub was closed, but then again that was shortly after Covid had come to an end. Well, as it turns out when I got back this place was open, so I managed to have a beer here. Well, all I can say is that this was one awesome pub. In fact it has a bandroom in the cellar, which is pretty awesome as well. read more

Tallulah was fabulous!! She and Eamon took care of us and made us feel as if this was our local!! I will highly recommend this pub to all of my friends!! read more

Came here a couple times during my two week vacation. Only positive trait is it's a heavy metal bar in a hot spot area. The service sucks. And the bouncer's are petty. 1) ordered an Iron Maiden beer. It was warm. Maybe they just restocked it, but for 9 pounds, they better chill it before serving . 2) coincidentally, I arrive at the bar in an Iron Maiden 2000 Brave New World football Jersey. Was also kicked out of this metal bar for wearing a heavy authentic (not to mention rare and expensive jersey). Why? Unbeknownst to me, the jersey had a westham insignia stitched to the upper left breast . This was not altered , rather it was part of the jersey. Apparently, Westham is associated with football hooliganism, and is tantamount to me wearing gang colors in enemy territory. I can't even name a single European football player or name you a team. These type of matters don't concern me. Based on the totality of my experience, I'd rather visit neighboring bars catering to metalheads. read more

Great location to meet up with friends while in the Camden area. Get there early as the crowd knows a good spot when they see it. Service was quick and courteous and the food was dialed in for what you would expect from a busy pub pumping out copious amount of wonderful heavy metal and rock. read more

It very much felt like the worlds end. Not a single ale in the place! Only at the end of my world will a pub not serve bitter. But they had a good selection of lagers, thus I lowered myself into having one. Sat down wondering why I came into a pub with no real beer, (Damn you Simon Pegg) when the local drunk/nutter decided that I was a good person to talk at. Now I look like a bulldog chewing on a wasp whilst it's suffering from the most painful condition of piles. So why me? I got told that I'm a big guy, that I'm lucky to be married, do I want a fight?, do I want to buy dope? Isn't the barmaid sexy? Do I want to go back to his flat? Finally the rain scared him off, so I quickly downed my pint of gnats piss in peace. I guess if you want to listen to metal whilst drinking lager, this is your place to go in Camden. read more

Wandered into this place on our London adventures and wasn't disappointed. It's a huge place with 2 levels. They play rock/metal/industrial then it looks like they have live music pretty frequently. We were there on a Tuesday evening, so it wasn't crazy busy. read more

I wish this was my local! Visited twice on a weekend to London and loved it. Saturday night had a much bigger crowd than Sunday (duh) but the played metal on Saturday and a mix of pop punk on Sunday. Decent beers on tap for the mister and they make a good G&T (yes, a double...no judgement.) Bar staff hustled both nights. The food looked and smelled really solid but we never ate anything. All in all...loved it. Welcoming collection of totally random people chatting and rocking out. Not full of tourists (aside from us...but we don't act like rubbish tourists anyway.) I'd go every night if I could! read more

I use to love this pub, now it is a sell out tourist trap. it is dirty and full of rat traps. the staff seemed board and rude. and the prices have become ridiculous, £64 for 2 jd and cokes and 4 jager bombs! it is sad to see an old favourite go down this road. i will never return and was embarrassed to have recommended this to friends visiting from birmingham read more

Came here Saturday night to celebrate bf's friend's birthday!! Was such a fun time :) When you enter the bar it seems pretty small, but as you go forth the space actually opens up into a number of spacious rooms - in fact there's even an upstairs, where we spent most of our time. The bar is downstairs, and though there were quite a few people in the bar we never had to wait long for drinks which was great. I got some ciders which were pretty standard. However, they do take your safety seriously so we saw some people denied drinks due to having had too much to drink already! Overall was a really fun night and the pub has a cheerful, welcoming space and atmosphere :) read more

We were looking for a different pub that apparently closed when we stumbled in. Very spacious with lots of metal music. Nice selection of drafts. We shared the burnt ends sandwich and chips. The beef was good but he chips were amazing! read more

A burger & fries (chips) to write home about! The food: Homestyle Burger with house sauce is juicy, flavorful and served on a brioche bun. It was so damn good just on its own. It didn't need cheese or extra condiments or anything. It's a perfect size, too. Not small and not excessively large. Just right. The chips (fries) were perfectly golden and crisp. The Look: the pub exterior is really gorgeous and inviting. It looks traditional on the outside but the inside is stunning. It's copper piping, dark wood, an iron staircase leading up to a second floor nice and near to the beautiful skylight roof. A huge train schedule type board announces it's rad cocktails like the Red Wedding, Sex in the Dungeon. Honestly it feels like a rad steampunk type spot on the inside. The beer selection is also satisfying with even their own The Worlds End microbrew. I can't wait to return. The Drawback: the music playing in the speakers was terrible excessively loud metal. It detracted from the experience and actually was the only reason we didn't hang out longer for more pints. I'd go back for sure but hopefully they'll have a better sound playing or at least have it lowered when I do. read more

Deceptively spacious, surprisingly cozy. Lizzie G. is right to say that it's an emo den. It's not surprising really - Camden is after all the West Hollywood-meets-Los Feliz equivalent to Los Angeles. An odd mix of Guns N' Roses, Cold Play and Kings of Leon was playing overhead when I had stopped in on a Tuesday afternoon. Two things I found amusing about the joint: the first is the amply spacious balcony lounge perched just above the inside bar. Second is the in-venue food stall serving both greasy spoon fare and, of all things, Thai curry. It's weird but it works. I have an inkling that this place must be pretty poppin' on a Saturday night. read more

I never fail to have a good night in this pub. The World's End is a great place for a beer and a bit of a dance before you move onto a club. When it's quiet during the week there's an eclectic mix of shabby sofas to relax on and chill out with friends and during the weekend you shout over the loud music, get annoyed at the terribly slow staff and disgusting, smelly toilets! These 'attributes' however don't put people off going back there because it has a great vibe and it epitomises everything that Camden is. It's a real dirty, gritty pub but despite this I always go back and so does the rest of London! I would give one piece of advice though-watch your handbag-there's always lots of pick pockets in this area. If you love rock and mixing with the weird and wonderful people of Camden then you'll have a good night here-it's definitely got personality! read more

What pub to visit in Camden Town... World's End, of course! Each time I come back to visit, I make a special trip just to frequent one of my favourite pubs in London. What I love about this pub, is its spaciousness offering seating both up and downstairs. There is also a nice area for live band music. Very unique compared to the other pubs throughout the city which can feel a bit cramped given small spaces for shops. Location is excellent too! Near the Camden Tube station, Camden Town makes this spot very convenient! read more

Not a bad pub.... I love System of a Down, but seriously, overkill....I think they played every single song from their entire discography while we were here. The place is HUGE -- it just keeps going & going with multiple rooms throughout. They have an insane number of beers both on tap and in the bottle. My favorite, Hoegaarden, is available only in the bottle here, but I wouldn't recommend ordering it; one 12oz bottle costs more than an entire pint of everything else on draught. Not the cleanest place I've seen, but not the dirtiest either. Excellent people-watching too, I might add. Bathrooms are fucking gross. Prison toilets? Really. Reading the graffiti on the bathroom stalls is pretty amusing, however. read more

One of the most prominent and known pubs in Camden, for many years a place where the young discover good rock music and become part of the Camden community. It's right next to the station, at a great spot to grab a drink (or more if you feel like) after you have a nice walk through the market and then hop on the tube and head home. Make sure you go to the part of the bar with the larger area so you're all nice and comfortable and if you find yourself having a great time and have a few too many pints, don't worry.. it's not the end of the word. Just a normal day or night out at World's End. read more

Went here to have a drink in Camden on our second night in London and it was meh. I wasn't impressed. Their beer selection needs more dark beers, the music was way too dang loud, the service was sub par, and the bathrooms were disgusting. It was a big pub but there needs to be improvements. I guess I didn't know this was famous but from my experience, I wouldn't have expected it to be. read more

The "infamous" World's End? Came here Friday night, right after work hours to meet a friend, heavy metal music was playing, locals were in the back giving me the look because I m obviously not from around there. But they serve beer here, and sometimes that's where it counts, they had a particular "strong" IPA, strong like 5.5% but after many rounds you will begin to feel them. As the night got later and later, the crowd normalized from the Friday after work commuter crowd into a distinctly local, and leather crowd. read more

They close at 11:00pm. Nuff said. Quit posin! Actually the place has a bunch of potential but they play a lot of mallcore which I am allergic too. read more

I DO NOT RECOMMEND. Not very pleased with this place. Seemed to have a decent vibe. Wasn't expecting much as far as the food but ordered burnt ends anyway. They were not edible so I tried to get something else. I was told by the employee that they don't give refunds but I could buy something else if I wanted. Why would i give more money to an establishment that is not focused on customer satisfaction? I haven't had this experience in a restaurant in London before. Other times if the food was unsatisfactory the restaurant would try to make it right... but this just some little tourist trap pub so I guess decency doesn't apply. read more

Oh come on, how you can't like this place!?! I mean seriously!! First of all, it's in front of the tube: you want to spend your night pub crawling in camden? being in front of the tube station means that it's just in the middle of your crawling, awesome! You want to have just a beer in a pub? awesome, just get out from the station and you are there!! The pub is just ENORMOUS you enter, you see tables and the bar counter and the pub seems over. WRONG!! just keep going, and go, and go, and go!! amazing, I mean this place can easily reach 1000 people capacity!! damn it!! Beer is not that good, I mean nothing wrong, but you are not coming here for beer, you are coming here for the very same reason everybody does: because you are PEOPLE!! People from all over the world, skinhead next to business men next to punx next to high-heeled girls, everybody just enjoying their drinking together!! What else would you need!?! That's camden, you are not going to camden for a 25 years old scotch, you are coming here because of people, and chatting with complete strangers and be part of humanity!! And that's why I love this place! The day the world will end, I'll be here, drinking and enjoying humanity!! read more

I visited the World's End, much by accident one drunken evening after stumbling out of the Camden Town tube stop, mistaking it, (the tube stop) for a greasy ladder to either kebab heaven, or my flat. One of the two. (Actually, in further retrospect, upon leaving said tube station I was very much aware that I lived in N'hamptonshire and also very sadly aware that there was no tube in the world that would take me home that evening. I suppose that it was then, just wishful thinking regarding the kebab quest..) However, that being so.. I entered the pub and was IMMEDIATELY struck by the fact that on the wall was a large sign proclaiming, "No nuclear weapons allowed." I can honestly say that this completely stymied me. I then, (I'm assuming due to the alcohol that I'd previous consumed) proceed to search myself, verifying that I was in fact, not carrying ANY weapons of mass destruction, nuclear or otherwise. This caused slight issue for persons who were entering and leaving the pub and I was jostled and elbowed QUITE RUDELY. I even attempted to explain that I was diligently `just trying to follow the rules, mate!' but sadly, no-one seemed interested. After entering, I walked the length of the bar searching for a free seat.. Then KEPT walking the length of the bar. ...And kept walking the length of the bar. (By this time, I was astounded by the sheer size of the pub and assumed that I'd wandered into some beer-swilling version of the Tardis, fully expecting Tom Baker to appear at any moment offering me a packet of crisps and a snakebite.) After finding a seat, (I figured by that point I was in bloody Hampstead or something), I stowed my gear and requested a pint. The service was prompt, the beer fresh and chilled to perfect temperature and the clientele.. Well, they were nice enough, but a bit `rocker' for my taste. (My taste leaning MUCH more towards the "easier", more "prog'ish" rock. Like Hawkwind, or something.) While I did not sample the fare, I did consume plenty more pints and as said above, the service was always prompt and friendly. Overall, I had a WONDERFUL time there, and HIGHLY recommend it to everyone and anyone visiting the Camden Town area of London. (To add a post-script to this story, after consuming an unknown number of pints at The World's End, I wandered down the road for a few hours and found myself in front of Shepard's Bush Empire, where a nice young man obtained a minicab for me, and with the help and kindness of a few more strangers, I eventually made it back home to the Midlands.) read more

...the pub so big I once left it, having had just the one pint, may I add, turned the corner to see another pub just down the road. 'Let's go in there,' I said to my companions for the evening. 'Ok!' they said. It was the same pub. Maybe you had to be there. The crowd is a good mix of students, music-goers and city types, and the ambience is vibrant but friendly. It's in a great location, just acrss the road from Camden tube, and is big enough to accomodate large groups, though it does manage to fill up pretty quickly , such is its popularity. All in all, a good place for a bevvy and somewhere that you should check out if in the area. read more

Hey Yelper hear me out, whether in London or afar. I am not the type of girl who lives in swanky, chic bars. Character over gloss, I adore those gritty drinking spots. So naturally, the World's End I should love a lot. ...And by golly, it is no surprise that I do. The World's End, happens to be one of my go-to's. It is truly a wonderful place to get your pub on, in, So let me show it lots of Alex L. YelpLovin'. Never thought it possible to get lost in a bar. It's like two for the price of one, it extends back so far. Not a victim of one too many, in case you do not know what I mean. There is a bar station in the front, and one in back after the corridor in between. Now Yelper, they've got a lot on tap. But just give me a Jack or Maker's whiskey ginger, or a neat treat and that's a wrap. Here in the company of friends I've spent many a-days. Deep, philosophical conversations. Some funny, some mind-numbing, most a boozy haze. The alcoves afford a nice bit of privacy. In fact, I'll just say that I think they're quite sexy. The windows are huge, perfect for people-watching or stalking, at your leisure. And on a cold day, the fireplace grants warmth, hence lots of pleasure. And how could you deny The World's End it's place in history!? Charles Dickens was a patron, the chap had good taste, I see. The only complaints I have are the early closing hours and, The women's bathrooms --prisons of doom and gloom--plus cold running water, man! Fair Yelper, take it from me. If the World Ends, you know just where I might be. Though, I might hold it if I've gotta take a wee. read more

Not being a Londoner I rely on other people to show me the decent places to go, and I've been taken to The World's End twice now, so it must be great! Ignoring the usual expensive London prices, this place has a lot going for it. It's half normal pub, and then half housed in what used to be a sort of indoor market, with the shop fronts still there, but a bar in the middle. So that half looks and feels great, and I actually really enjoyed sitting at the bar to drink there - something which I'm not normally a fan of. However it was really quiet in there on Saturday, so compared to the atmosphere around the rest of Camden - particularly anywhere that had a beer garden/terrace - was disappointing. There's good music though - I was greeted with Metallica when I first got there, and the drinks are decent. Well worth a look, except for when it's cracking weather outside! read more

Kitted out in the traditional decorations of interesting signs and specially dusty-fied bric-a-brac, The World's End is a huge pub, brilliantly placed to catch all the market goers as they throng back to Camden tube station. I've had 'good times' here, many, many good times. We laughed! We cried! We fought to get to the bar! I've made new friends here. When conversation lulls you can organise cross-gender trips to the toilets to see If They REALLY are that Bad. (Personally, I deal with the World's End toilets by leaving the pub, crossing over the road, walking past the always-closed public loos, nipping down the Parkway and popping into one of the nice late opening Italian cafes. It's a 20 minute round trip and you may have to fork out 80p for a Big-Eat bag of Walkers but hey! You'll still be back at the table, drinking your chosen beverage before your less adventurous pal shuffles back, goggle-eyed and trailing bog roll.) The food is overpriced and nasty. I'd avoid that hot food counter thingy they've got at all costs. Absolutely and without doubt almost anywhere else in Camden does better food, cheaper. The range of beers is good but you'll have a very, very long time to decide between them as you queue up at the bar and afterwards to wonder what happened to all your money. And yet, I'm always back here. I met my boyfriend here. Whenever I make a new friend, I know that, if they're a good sort, we WILL end up at the world's end on a Sunday afternoon, grumpily going back down that scary spiral staircase having found that, no, there aren't any seats. I know that you're not a 'proper Londoner' until you can go "The World's end? Dear heaven, the toilets! Have you SEEN them??" It's been one of my personal London landmarks since I moved here; I just wish it were better. read more

Truly a meal you would expect to eat if it were the end of the world. I don't mean that in a good way. Sorry no pics I was starving so I dove right in. I will give you the best description I can though. Atmosphere: This looks like a super cool place from the outside. The name is honestly what drew me into this place. As far as the name goes it was somewhat what I expected it to be, but not really if that makes sense at all. As you walk in there's alternative rock/rock music playing, this place was a lot more modern then I expected it to be to. I was hoping for a goth/apocalypse type theme, that was not the case at all. It was more hard rock meets brewery and has a baby that comes out as a wanna be metal head. Service: This is where the 2 stars comes in to play, without it I felt a negative star review would have been appropriate. The waiter that helped us after we ordered our food at the bar was super friendly and didn't make me feel as if we were a inconvenience. Considering I like to order hella sauce this is sometimes the case. He was very accommodating though. The food: FML! Like I said before this was truly a end of the world foraging for food and trying to make up something that could taste at least semi good experience. Not sure if that was what they meant by the name, but if it was they knocked that one out of the ball park. I ordered the chilly cheese fries and pulled pork sandwich. The fries were horrible! The chili tasted more like the base for a shity spaghetti/ ketchup base thing more than chilli, the cheese was weird, I don't know how to describe it better than that. Now for my pulled pork sandwich, again FML! The bun was stale I literally took 2 bites out of it and then decided just to remove the pork and only eat that. The bbq sauce that is supposed to be on a pulled pork sandwich was made super poorly. It not only lacked in spices but who ever made it clearly doesn't understand the overall base required for a bbq sauce. I ever ordered extra sauce cause at first I just thought the flavorless meet maybe just didn't have enough sauce to begin with, btw, it had very little sauce. Anyways I soon found out the sauce sucked and was only half the issue. Well that about sums it up. Good luck! If you wanna have a fat day and good experience I would suggest checking out the market further up before fucking up and eating here first like I did. read more

I swear, this may be the only place in Camden where bikers will sit at a table next to a group of soccer dads, next to a group of blonde valley girls, next to a table of emo boys. It's super ridiculous seeing the vast assortment of people around there and spilling out onto the street. It's certainly not my cup of tea: while it's big, it looks quite dirty and the bathrooms are disgusting. I can't honestly describe it any further, you really need to experience it to understand the just plain ODD vibe it gives off. The music ranges from cheesy Bon-Jovi rock to German heavy metal (trust me...I live within hearing distance of this place) which may account for some of the oddness. Give it a go if you must, but don't plan on staying there long when there's so much to do in Camden! read more

A. This reminds me of what the village (NYC) was like in the 80's, fun, no rules, no pretense, straight crazy B. Bartenders were awesome, cask ales were awesome C. Music was all over the place (reggae, death metal, brittney spears...not) D. Thai cuisine here? F yeah...and was one of the best I've had E. Huge drinking spot, bathrooms...not so much F. Patrons were wasted....waaaassssttteeeddd I will hit, over and over. read more

If it weren't for the toilets this pub would be amazing. I love the little nooks and crannies that it is filled with, I love the shop fronts in the back bar that almost make you think you could be in an alcoholic version of Harry Potter. I love the music, the death metal, the thrash metal and the grunge. I love that it's actually a cosy pub at the front and a bright open space at the back bar. I like how you can always find a space and usually are able to get a seat. But dear god the loos live up to the name. This is the World's End, and this is how it ended. In a funky pub by Camden station the blocked toilets threw up their clogged bog roll and sputtered forth. I have been here on various days, at various times. I have yet to see the toilets in any usable state. Ladies, take tissues with you, and if you happen to carry a spare loo seat with you take that too, else be prepared to squat. If you time it right you can go early enough that you don't have to stand in anyone else's piss. But in all honesty, when you think you start to need the loo, go elsewhere. If it weren't for the bogs this place'd have a 4 star rating. read more

Huge pub! AND towards the back it looks like something out of Pirates of the Caribbean!! Complete with a hanging, cobwebby skeleton I've affectionately called Percy. I ask you what could be more exiting?! A trip here has become tradition for whenever 2 of my best mates and me ever meet up. More relaxed in the day time, the clientele changes as it gets darker taken up with the rock/metal/goth crowd. It can get pretty crowded when there's a gig on at the equally notorious Underworld club directly below it. Tickets for which can be purchased behind the bar or at seetickets.co.uk The toilets are a bit skanky if only for the fact that they are metal and quite sobering if you're drunk and not expecting a cold landing. Prices are a bit high but it's alright compared to some other places. All in all good place for a quick one, start a night or as a run up to Underworld. read more

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

Hmm, been thrown out of here before, a while back though, more due to a friend of mine than me, but the staff were being a bit pathetic that time. Thought I'd try it again anyway its an OK pub with OK music. Good points are its a big pub and serves beer/alcohol and a diverse group of punters. Its near the tube. Bad points are, no atmosphere, bad staff attitude bit of a student pub feel (without the students which is worse in a way). Probably not the best pub in Camden by a long shot but, as i said, an OK place for a quick visit. read more
