James Past left this review about The Elephants Head
Decent enough pub. I liked the interior layout. Only the one hand pull , T.Taylor Landlord , I tied to order some but politely told that it was "not on". So I turned the pump clip around and ordered a half of something fizzy, a shame really especially as the sound system played a selection of American "Southern Rock" tracks.

Long and thin street corner boozer with some very good exterior glazed tiling in brown and some pleasing features inside.The tap room has quarry tiling and is open plan but the kinked ,long bar hints at a previous two room layout as confirmed by the side entrance door to the rear area.The bar front is very attractive,wood carved in a church cloister pattern .There is a raised section at the front,a stand alone drinking shelf further back,with most of the traditional seating at the rear.The soundtrack wasn't too loud and well selected rock and blues standards.The Wurlitzer juke box was out of action.The service was swift and the punters inside seemed less transient than at most of the other pubs I visited in Camden.The interior was surprisingly calm compared with the chaos outside,this is young tourist central .
The biggest let down was the ale,with just a single London Pride handpump,served far too cold and out of condition (NBSS 1.5) and a total rip off at £3.85.
Marks awarded from the fabric of the pub ,great shame about the beer.

A very busy pub due to its location, long and narrow inside it had quite a vibrant and quirky feel, for Rex's benifit from the previous review, the Wurlitzer Jukebox is still present. On the beer front it's disapointing, a general theme in Camden Town with only London Pride On, I went keg with Brixton Reliance Pale Ale. Again in this part of town, I quite liked the pub, the beer left more to be desired.
