FOCUS ON: Camden Town

A market like no other

Camden Town is a neighborhood in North West London. It is particularly famous for its markets and its alternative culture: punk, gothic and recently, alter-globalist. It's the perfect place to find a rock T-shirt, handmade jewelry, or ethnic art. It is also a very nice area to eat: the offer is multicultural, cheap and of good quality.
