A canalside pub has finally reopened for the first time in four years after a head to toe makeover.
The Constitution in St Pancras Way, Camden, has been closed since February 2020, but is now back pulling pints.
The pub was opened in 1858 and according to the Campaign for Real Ale is the last remaining building from the old Agar Town, a short-lived working-class community swept aside by the development of St Pancras station and its rail lines.
Its patio terraced garden overlooking Regent's Canal was a four-time finalist in Camden in Bloom.
Pictures provided by pub chain Young’s shows that the new interior blends original features with exposed brickwork and cosy leather seating.
The refurbed boozer has a main bar area, and stunning first floor 33-cover terrace overlooking the Regent's Canal with retractable roof.
The enclosed beer garden will also be back for outdoor pints in the sun, with climbing plants over the arched walls, and lantern-style lighting for alfresco evenings.
There is no shortage of food options too, with an ever-changing seasonal menu using British ingredients from Head Chef Jay Bond.
The Constitution also has you sorted for your Sunday roast, with the menu including sharing dishes of Whole roast Cornish red chicken or Confit lamb breast, plus vegan and vegetarian options.
The bar will serve the likes of Camden Hells, Two Tribes and Deya, as well as wines, bubbles and cocktails infused with homegrown herbs and syrups.
Regular events will include ‘Paw-some Saturdays’ where locals can head to the pub with their pooch for a 10am coffee before a walk along Regents Canal.
On Tuesdays, there will be a regular Chess Club – open to grand masters and rookies alike.
From next week (April 3), new General Manager Gen will be hosting a pub quiz in the cellar bar every Wednesday evening.
The Constitution is now open seven days a week for bookings and walk-ins.
