About

The New Camden: about the walking tour

Camden is eclectic: a complex tapestry of identity, history and culture. Once the original terminus for traffic from the railway and the canal, the epicentre of punk rock in the 1970s, and today a major tourist magnet, beloved by Amy Winehouse and where Taylor Swift has claimed she walks in the afternoon...

Camden is forging a new path, reinventing itself once again with a planned new highline, an observation wheel, the 9-acre Camden Goods Yard redevelopment, a revamped KOKO theatre and an expanding network of markets.

So, what kind of place is Camden becoming in its next era? You decide on this walking tour of Camden where we’ll take a whistlestop tour of its past, present and future.
