The Hawley Arms opens to public tonight (Oct 31) after pre-parties

The Hawley Arms – the favourite London pub of the likes of The Mighty Boosh, Razorlight and Amy Winehouse – is set to reopen its doors tonight (October 31).

The Camden boozer closed after being damaged in the fire that swept through the London district in February this year.

The Hawley Arms will officially reopen to the public tonight, following three days (October 28-30) of guest list only "pre-parties".

The last one took place last night with Babyshambles' Drew McConnell and singer-songwriter Sam McCarthy among those performing sets by the bar.

The pub, once famous as a Hells Angels hang out, has been largely restored to its pre-fire condition, although after moving a staircase there are now bigger bars on the first and second floor.
