Camden Road - Holloway

North London

Widely known as an alternative location, Camden Town is an exciting and vibrant area within the borough of Camden. Camden is well-known for its markets: these are relatively new, except for Inverness Street market, a small food market serving the local community, though now with only 3 fruit and vegetable stalls among more touristy stalls. Camden Lock market proper started in a former timber-yard in 1973, and is now surrounded by five more markets: Buck Street market, Stables market, Camden Lock village, and an indoor market in the Electric Ballroom. The markets are a major tourist attraction at weekends, selling goods of all types including fashion, lifestyle, books, food, junk/antiques and more bizarre items; they and the surrounding shops are popular with young people, in particular those searching for "alternative" clothing.

Camden also has a wide range of exciting bars, clubs, restaurants, and fantastic live music venues. KOKO, formerly 'The Camden Palace', is a major dance and rock venue on Camden High Street near Mornington Crescent tube station. Electric Ballroom, hosts weekly club nights and acts as a live music venue. The Devonshire Arms, also known as "The Dev" or more recently "The Hobgoblin", is a long established alternative pub/venue.Camden is an excellent location for those wanting to visit attractions all over London. Camden Town tube station, is a key interchange for the Bank, Charing Cross, Edgware and High Barnet Northern Line branches. Camden also has great bus links to areas across the majority of London.
