Camden TownNewest Review: ... punks though, they often ask for money (those cans of K cider have to be paid for somehow), however a zoom lens can be helpful in such regards. Most people will be happy to let you take a photograph if you ask nicely and don't act like a pervert. Camden Town is one of London's biggest tourist attractions and its markets, shops, pubs, bars and restaurants are well worth the visit if you have ... more |

If the 'alternative' lifestyle is what you're after, you won't get any better than the world famous Camden Town. This has been a centre for Punks, Goths, Cybergoths, Emos and Indies since such genres arose, starting with the Darkwave shop (catering for the Goth community) on Chalk Farm Road. Camden has faded somewhat in recent years, when I used to (frequently) bunk off from Maths lessons to visit it was less commercial in the sense that the shops and stalls were more hotch-potch and there were fewer high street names. It has lost a lot of the aura of being somewhere special, being somewhere different because of it. There were also considerably less Indie ... Read the complete review

Well I remember around the turn of the 1990s being allowed by my parents to accompany my (much) older brother to Camden Town. I was just a bright eyed eight year old and from what I had heard from both my siblings and any media influence my child's brain absorbed, was that Camden was the place to be. When we got there, on that sunny Sunday morning nearly 20 years ago I remember all my senses being bombarded with the joy that Camden Town brought with it. The gangs of punks, goths, mods and allsorts, though slightly terrifying, were a world away from suburban life. The hustle and bustle of the streets and markets gave the area a carnival like feel, and vendors ... Read the complete review

Camden Town is very well-known and famous for its markets, wide variety of products and lively atmosphere. I absolutely love Camden Town and love to go there on a sunny afternoon and have a look at what they have on offer... The markets offer loads of great stuff and you can buy pretty much anything from clothes, equipment, tools, household appliances, second hand goods, and you name it, they most probably got it! There are also many restaurants and pubs in the area, which you can relax and chill out at. In the main shopping area, it can become very compact and crowded at times (especially on the weekend), and every shop has its own unique range of ... Read the complete review

Camden Town is a fascinating place to visit especially on a Sunday when the famous market is in full swing. Located in the north London borough by the same nameCamden Town itself consists of one fairly long high street with the tube station located at the main cross roads. The tube station is on the Northern Line and is only a couple of stops away from Kings Cross. Camden has a great bohemian quality about it and while the market does provide a bit of a touristy feel to it at times the area is also ome to some great venues to see a range of music from Jazz to punk and it has a lively bar scene as well. It can also be a bit seedy as well with drug ... Read the complete review

Camden Town is an unusual and odd area of London, located in the middle of two neighbouring rich areas St Johns Wood and Primrose Hill, both areas only ten minutes away from Camden. So really it's a bit of a misfit location wise as Camden Town has nothing posh about it, it's more of a shabby and bit of a run down place. This area hasn't changed in years and although dirty looking it still continues to attract thousands of people as well as tourists from all over who want to visit this grey bleak place they call Camden Town. I am always visiting the twilight zone, that's what I call this place it's so different and unique when compared to many places in London. ... Read the complete review
