Description

This one and a half hour tour will begin with a brief history of the area, from the time when highwaymen would stalk the Hampstead Road and move on to discuss how Camden became a boomtown in the railway era. We will then talk about some famous faces who have called Camden home, including the likes of Charles Dickens and of course, Amy Winehouse. Camden has however also been witness to some rather turbulent times, such as in the 1920s when the Camden Town Gang fought rival gangs in the Camden pubs and Camden's very existence threatened by a planned road through its very heart. Camden nowadays is famous for its market, or rather markets which sell almost everything one could imagine, including excellent food from every corner of the globe. It is, of course, impossible to do a tour in Camden without talking about Camden's role in the music scene, from Rock and Roll to Britpop, Camden has it all. So come here with an open mind and an empty stomach and enjoy this incredible area with us.

  • Hampstead Road Post Office
  • Camden Town Hall

Interesting tour through Camden

Maxine was a great and experienced guide. Just a small note on talking too fast, but all in all I think it was the best balance of time frame and knowledge mixed together. July, and especially weekend, is of course super-touristy time, so you need to be prepared for that. But it was cool to walk around and find out so much. Thank you :)

Informative and fun

A great tour and very knowledgeable guide Antonio. Lots of detail about the Camden music scene. Only criticism was it lasted over 2 hours when we booked 1 hour 30 mins. Definitely recommend for finding those hidden gems ????
