4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 May 2012 NEW

lots of shops and different things to see. can get very busy at times but that is like any part of london. Camden locks worth a visit if you're into a particular style e.g. goth, cyber, punk, emo, rave, hippy, japanese, kitsch etc... etc... also some good locations to see bands/go to gigs, get music, eat out More

I went on the Camden Pub Crawl (definitely check it out) and it took us throughout Camden Town to different bars and finally a club. It is kind of grimy - definitely somewhere to not walk through at night, alone especially - but there are some cool shops and a lot of food. It is very good for night life. More

This is a place where you can be what you are. Different styles, good music, alternative ways of thinking...this is Camden Town! Sit on the "scooters sits" to eat a good sandwich or indian food. More

Very charismatic place. The Market has many different things, but be aware that many of the items can be found in different booths, at different prices. If you're eating there, I recommend Inspiral. More

I don't live in London anymore and I only manage to visit our great capital every so often. However, when I make the effort, I always visit Camden. Yes there are the obvious stalls that would perhaps appeal to the foreign tourists and plenty of stalls selling junk, but there are also fantastic stalls selling items that you just don't... More

This is my third time in London, and for the third time I visited Camden Town. It is always amazing: the true face of London, eventually. You can find almost everything there: the town is a huge market. Cyber, punk, vintage, ethnic and much much more. It is the perfect place to buy something (moreover, you will find cheaper gadgets/shirts... More

It is a must see neighborhood in London. It's pure alternative; punk and goth. There are lots of souvenir shops that you may find anything you want. Also there are lots of choises for food. Please keep in mind to compare the prices. You probably will find the same thing in the next-door shop cheaper. More
