We couldn’t talk about Camden Town without mentioning Camden Lock. The most well known market in the whole of the area, and probably the whole world. The market started as a group of craft workshops residing by the Regent’s Canal, then it evolved into a bustling hub of creativity and trading. From handmade jewellery to music memorabilia and delicious food, Camden Lock is the perfect place to spend your afternoon browsing the finest items that North London can offer.
A hidden secret that some people may not know about, the London Waterbus. The waterbus goes between Little Venice and Camden Town, passing through the Maida Hill Tunnel and Regents Park. The waterbus allows passengers to view London in a different, more relaxing way; no need for busy underground stations or running for the bus. The journey takes around an hour but with the tranquil scenes of London, it’ll feel like 5 minutes.
The Jazz Café is one of Camden’s most iconic venues. It's previously welcomed the likes of Amy Winehouse and continues to host local and international musicians in an intimate setting. With live music seven nights a week, there’s never a bad time to go. There’s also a mezzanine restaurant and a delicious cocktail menu.
