Looking for a tour of Camden Town?
1. Camden High Street
One of the best ways to start a day in Camden Town is to get acquainted with the area by walking up and down Camden High Street.
Camden’s High Street has markets, shops, pubs, restaurants, and music venues. Take your time and soak in the atmosphere of this unique area in London. The street can get pretty crowded, but the crowds add to the overall experience.
2. Camden Street Art
If street art is your thing, then you are in luck while in Camden Town. Camden has some of London’s best street murals. While walking around the area, you will inevitably stumble upon some really cool artwork, so keep your eyes peeled.
This gorgeous jungle mural is on the side of Bucks Head Pub, right off Camden’s High Street.
Camden Street Art tours are also available if you really want to dive into the street art scene.
3. Camden Lock
Make sure to take some photos under the Camden Lock Bridge. You will find it at the entrance to the Camden Lock Market.
Camden Lock is a part of Camden where you will find a twin lock. If you are unfamiliar with locks like I was, they are devices that raise and lower boats. These devices help the watercraft to be able to travel down canals when the water levels are different.
Hopefully, during your visit to Camden, you will be able to see the lock in action. When we were there, a houseboat used the Hampstead Road Lock No 1 to enter the canal. It was interesting to watch the houseboat owners manually operate the lock.
4. Camden Market Food Stalls
Camden Market has tons of food stalls, so come to the market hungry. With the variety of food, there is sure to be something that will appeal to everyone.
When we visited the Mac Factory got our attention. We were in the mood for comfort food, and what better comfort food than mac-n-cheese.
We decided to go with the Super Mario. It is mac-n-cheese with mushrooms and truffle oil.
The Mac Factory has six specialty dishes that range from £7.50 - £8.50.
Meat Head Mexican Grill was our second stop at the Camden Market. This street food stall serves up tacos and nachos.
They have three types of tacos chipotle chicken, beef, and lamb. We went with the chipotle chicken and were not disappointed.
Each order comes with two large tacos. The tacos cost £8.50.
5. Cyberdog
After lunch, we made our way to Cyberdog. Cyberdog had to be one of our favorite shops in Camden. It is a music and clothing chain store that is well worth a quick stop.
As soon as we walked in, there were neon lights, music, and plenty of fascinating clothes to check out.
6. Amy Winehouse Statue
In the Stables Market in Camden Town, you will find a bronze statue of the famous singer Amy Winehouse. Amy lived and worked in Camden.
Behined The Hawley Arms Camden, you can also find a giant mural of Amy. She was known to be a regular at this pub.
7. Lockside Camden
After browsing the shops in Camden Market, we made our way to Lockside Camden to try the local beer Camden Hells.
Lockside Camden is extremely dog friendly and has a canal-side terrace that overlooks the Camden Market’s West Yard.
8. Camden Market Shopping
The Camden markets are several connecting markets that sell a wide variety of items. You can find jewelry, clothing, souvenirs, and food, among many other things.
We particularly enjoyed roaming around the vintage market. Here you can find old records, luggage, electronics, and plenty of clothing to rummage through.
