The Hawley Arms pub was a favourite hang out of Amy Winehouse and also where she was renowned for hopping behind the bar to pull a pint.

However when asking in the pub the staff say this was made up and never existed.
Anyhow, you can pop into this famous Camden pub and see memorabilia of Amy and many other famous people and bands all over the walls. Other celebrity’s such as Liam Gallagher, Kate Moss, and Pete Doherty all drank in the pub at some point, but the Hawley owed its fame to Amy Winehouse.
