Camden

Then they go back to the more common tourist spots. It’s like the best of both worlds. We get the income from the tourists and can constantly put it back into our own town projects. Camden is not party all night, and always bright and busy like the heart of London.

The music alone is a great reason to come and check out shows in Camden. Although that is pretty widely known, only the locals know where to catch surprise shows, or big stars doing an acoustic set at the last minute. You really feel like you are part of a small town here, even though we are all in the London metropolitan area. The shopping is unreal and bargains are also great all week long. When you have visited them often, the market traders get to know you, and will get the best, special orders, or the popular items, set aside for whenever you get there. Camden is a haven from the bustle of London. It still has big city resources, but with a more familiar, neighborhood vibe and all the benefits of living in a more residential versus commercial part of town.
