Initially built around canals at the beginning of the 19th century and home to many people involved in building the railway networks, Camden was catapulted into 1960s counterculture consciousness by Pink Floyd's concert at the Roundhouse.
Camden Town took over from Soho as London's bohemian centre and has evolved into a bohemian, artistic, and musical centre of culture since the 1980s.
Camden is known for its world-famous independent markets, street art scene, and, of course, Amy Winehouse.
