The vibrant multicultural buzz of Camden Market ensures the ongoing popularity of this unusual shopping experience. A more relaxed time can be had at the markets further north, nearby Regents Canal. It may be only a few minutes away on foot but it feels like a different world. With more space to manoeuvre the stalls sell goods from art prints and glass ornaments, to smoking pipes and incense sticks. And if it all gets a little too much the canal side walk provides a scenic escape.
Music is core to Camden's atmosphere.
The world-famous Jazz Cafe is located on Parkway, and regularly plays host to visiting musicians from around the world. Nowadays it's become somewhat of an institution, a place to be seen as much as see, but the music remains top notch. Trendy bars and clubs abound in the area where celeb-spotting can be a Friday night sport. Away from the usual attractions, the acclaimed Jewish museum on Albert Street is well worth a visit, while the authentic Greek-Cypriot restaurants and cafes should not be overlooked by anyone seeking the soul of Camden. Whatever fashions may come and go, it is unthinkable that Camden Town will fall out of favour in the near future.
