"Famed for: noughties rock ‘n’ roll fans, Amy Winehouse If you’re not a certified expert in the Great Britannia Rock ‘n’ Roll Movement - please see, The Braless Kate Moss Years - then you might wrongly presume that this Camden pub is home to a somewhat self-absorbed graffiti artist called Amy. The downstairs bathrooms are packed full of scribbles like ‘Amy was here’ and ‘Amy Forever’ that have in fact been lovingly written in Sharpie by Amy Winehouse fans that have come on a heartfelt pilgrimage to this pub where she notably used to pull pints behind the bar, despite never actually working there. Truly a woman after our own hearts. These days, you’ll still find gigs upstairs, that distinctive rustic noughties look, and a loud soundtrack of indie anthems. They’ve also got an upstairs roof terrace and signed band pics from the days when Liam Gallagher and Pete Doherty were regulars. Service can be slow, but we wouldn’t have it any other way. That’s rock ‘n’ roll, baby." - heidi lauth beasley
