| Walk Description: | Camden Town is a place of canals, cafes, cobblestones, Catacombs, craftsmen's studios, street cred, NW1 literati, Industrial Age iron and brick, leafy terraces and crescents, antiques, artists, actors, and art deco. And that's not to mention Camden Lock, London's busiest and brightest market - and its fourth largest tourist attraction, the centrepiece of the walk,.Judith, a local artist, also explores everything from street style and Neobeatniks to Dickens, Dingwalls, and the Vanishing Viscount by the canal; and from George Bernard Shaw and Toss the Pieman to Dylan Thomas, Bob Dylan and the Electric Ballroom. Afterwards, if you like, you can take a traditional narrow boat to the Zoo or Little Venice. |
