Camden
Camden is two places at once. There's the Camden of punk legend, markets, and tourist crowds—loud, chaotic, slightly tatty. Then there's the Camden of elegant Georgian terraces, Primrose Hill celebrities, and some of London's most expensive houses. The two coexist in creative tension. Live music venues that launched careers still operate alongside natural wine bars. The market has become more sanitised, but wander off the main drag and you'll find the bohemian spirit intact. It's not the rebellious Camden of the 1970s, but it hasn't become Notting Hill either.
