By day, tourists from all over the globe. In the evening, even one of the most inn and alternative meeting places in the city! Camden Town is certainly not known for its formal being! It is the most diverse neighborhood of London . Camden Town markets attract people from all nationalities. You want for the weird and allegorical signs. And on this little tour with me you will find out why! Ready for a mandatory stop in London? Ready to know what to do in Camden Town?
What to do in Camden Town: Shops
At the end of the article I will explain, as always, the different ways to get to Camden Town! Once you arrive here (if you arrive by metro) you are in the middle of the bedlam. Exiting the station, in fact, you will find yourself in the main street: Camden High Street .
Here you will find the famous shops with imaginative signs ! Ranging from a pair of shoes that almost seem to fall on your head. Or a nice head of an elephant ready to barter (actually only the sound is missing)!
The fact is that if it is the first time you visit Camden Town you will be stunned. Also because it is crowded, alternative and weird. To visit Camden, in my opinion, it takes approximately 2-3 hours . The range is more or less this (between various pit stops).
What to do in Camden Town: Camden Lock
Camden Town is also famous for the market ! Indeed, it is most likely the most beautiful thing to see! It looks like a city within a city! The entry points are 2 and 1 of these is exactly where I took this photo! Where there is this now famous and well-known bridge with the inscription Camden Lock ! From here, in fact, just turn to the left and you are one step away from the entrance!
The reason why I found Camden Town pleasant and characteristic is for multi-ethnic people ! Not only for tourists, but also for professionals!
Camden is full of shops of all nationalities selling the most diverse things! BDSM shops, shops selling prehistoric things, shops not shops . All a little strange, in short. You will also find the area of street food along the market
What to do in Camden Town: street food
Simply vibrant! So I can describe the street food area of Camden Town. How do you want to eat? Japanese, Thai, Chinese, Italian, English? Here you can find everything and more and if you decide to go to Camden I recommend you eat there.
In addition to the street food stands in Camden there are also pubs and food tracks where you can sit comfortably! As I said at the beginning, in fact, it is also a destination for having fun in the evening! When the day makes room for the night Camden becomes a nightlife place!
Umbrella street London
So, "all’intrasatta" (in Neapolitan it means suddenly) I found myself here. In this lane made by a roof of colorful umbrellas and that was one of the spots that I liked most!
If you are a photography lover, like me, you cannot absolutely miss it! I did not know of its existence, luckily I'm curious and like exploring a lot!
The fact that I liked it you can also denote it by the fact that it is my cover image. Fate vobis.
What to do in Camden Town: Opening hours
Camden Town is active every day 7 of 7 . The times are up and down from 10 in the morning to 6 in the evening! In summer, the hours are also longer because in the UK it is very late in the evening (around 10:30 pm). Those that are obviously open after 6:00 pm are pubs, restaurants and cocktail bars. So the it actually never stops! I recommend go there in the week (if your stay permits). You will experience it better and more calmly!
Cyberdog Camden Town
Impossible not to come across this now famous "alternative" shop! First of all, it is impossible not to blind him since there are these two "things" outside. The Cyberdog is a shop that sells "Cyber" clothing. The first question I asked myself was: Cyber?!?! E c signific? (What does that mean)
Honestly, I didn't even know what it meant. But it would be dance clothing (party in general) with a particularity. The fact that it is composed of materials reactive to UV or phosphorescent rays.
I don't know if you've ever been to aparty in high school where they gave you fluorescent bracelets. Exactly so, except that in the "cyber" style you have everything from head to toe!
Plus, it's also a "Trance" music that took hold in the 90s in Germany! But it is useless to explain yourself in words, " Trasit rint o negozij" (enter the shop) so you will understand.
What to do in Camden Town: how to get to Camden Town
For how to get to Camden Town I will give you 2 options: tube and bus ! The small premise that I make to you is this: for me the bus has been a rediscovery. And I'll explain why: firstly from the bus you also have a city overview . Second: they work equally well and are cheaper , even if they take a bit longer.
But we are on vacation right ? Who the heck runs after us? So stay relaxed and enjoy your journey!
How to travel in London
Young people, before explaining well how to get here by bus or subway I will give you an excursus! Or rather: I dissolve some doubts. Subscription or not? Paying cash or not?
These are all questions I asked myself. With answers both in terms of savings and circumstances. The first of the questions you should ask yourself is: how many days are you staying in London? 1, 3, 5, 7? Based on this you can decide whether to make a subscription or not and if it suits you!
Pay cash or card? On this I tell you mine based on my experience. Since I am in the UK, I haven't seen a pound of paper or coins! NEVER! If not for the fact that someone else showed it to me. Because everything is very smart and fast here! And most importantly payable with contactless .
To make your life easier on how to organize yourself I am attaching links. London buses where you can find all the information related to buses. E: Visitor Oyster card and Travelcard in London. For a general overview of transport with prices and info.
Bus to Camden Town
There are many bus stations for Camden Town. The method I use today to move is Maps of iphone and now I will show you how. P.S. for those with Android, google maps is also fine, which is exactly the same. I use Maps of iphone simply because it is embedded.
So the question you are asking yourself is: no app to download? No guys, today (iphone) maps and google maps are at a very advanced level! But showing it to you is better. Only advice: get a power bank, otherwise stay with the battery on the ground.
In the photo you see above , I have simulated a move from Tower Bridge to Camden. As you can see below you can decide “how” to move around : drive, walk, transport and ride. Maybe to think about it and the best thing "p sparagnà" (to save money).
Anyway, once you have selected the method, "maps" will tell you the fastest route to do from where you are. By inserting changes to do or even different routes with different changes.
Convenient isn't it? Ah, importantly, most of the time the journey time is less than what it says. I can guarantee it because all the trips I made have never taken "all" that time.
Importantly, and then we will move on to the subway : you can decide on the means of transport. As you can see in the photo above always at the bottom left it says: "transport options". By clicking on it you can decide to: select only bus, metro only or both. As I said at the beginning of the article, I really enjoyed the buses. So for 3 days I took only those and I only selected the bus routes. So that searches are quick and easy!
Nearest tube station to Camden Market
If you decide to use the metro you will find yourself in the middle of Camden. To get there you can use the same method with the photo you see below. Instead of selecting buses as the method of transportation, you can select the (tube) underground.
Conclusions
Of course, needless to say, Camden Town is "one" of the many places to visit here in London. I recommend it to you because it is certainly not the place you frequent in your routines. So you can enjoy something "punk" !
