Canal locks, market stalls and a hill with the best view in London
Camden Town has never quite behaved itself, and that is much of its appeal. Dickens spent part of his boyhood in Bayham Street, Walter Sickert painted its lodging houses and gave his name to the Camden Town Group of artists in 1911, and the Roundhouse, built in 1847 to turn railway engines, went on to host the Doors and Pink Floyd. Today the market sprawls around the lock, and a few streets away the stucco terraces of Primrose Hill could hardly be calmer.
Our Camden Town collection runs to 50+ homes, mostly apartments and townhouses, from one-bedroom flats near Mornington Crescent to family townhouses close to the canal and houses of up to 5 bedrooms towards Gospel Oak and the Heath.
What follows is a guide to the neighbourhoods, the canal and the best times to come.

Primrose Hill for elegant terraces and Regent's Park, the streets around the canal for the market and music, Kentish Town and Gospel Oak for a quieter, residential feel near the Heath, and Somers Town for St Pancras.
Several villages under one postcode
The Camden Town of the postcards is Camden High Street and Chalk Farm Road, loud, cheerful and busiest at weekends. Turn off either and the mood changes quickly. Primrose Hill, across the railway, is all pastel terraces, bookshops and cafés along Regent's Park Road, with the park itself on the doorstep.
To the north, Kentish Town and Gospel Oak are properly residential, with Victorian streets, local pubs and Parliament Hill a short walk away. South of the station, Mornington Crescent has the Art Deco former Carreras cigarette factory, its black cats still guarding the door, and Somers Town runs down to St Pancras.

Narrowboats, street food and a twin lock
Camden Lock, properly Hampstead Road Lock, is the only twin lock left on the Regent's Canal, and the market has grown up around it over half a century: the Stables, Camden Lock Market, Buck Street and the newer Hawley Wharf. Go on a weekday morning if crowds are not your idea of fun.
The towpath is the neighbourhood's best secret, quietly leading west past the edge of London Zoo and Regent's Park to Little Venice, or east to King's Cross and Islington. If you would rather sit than walk, the London Waterbus runs between Camden Lock and Little Venice in around 45 minutes, with a stop at the zoo.

Room to breathe, minutes from the Northern line
Climb Primrose Hill at dusk and the whole of central London lays itself out below you, from the BT Tower to the City. It is a short walk from most of our Camden homes and a favourite for a picnic or a morning run.
Hampstead Heath is a little further, and well worth it. Parliament Hill gives another great view, Gospel Oak has the Parliament Hill Lido, and Kenwood House, with its Rembrandt and Vermeer, sits at the far end of the Heath. Hampstead village, with its lanes and old pubs, makes a good finish.

Gigs, street food and a festival in August
Camden has been central to London's music scene since the 1960s, and it still is: the Roundhouse, the Jazz Cafe, the Electric Ballroom and the Forum in Kentish Town all have busy calendars. The market's street food covers most of the world, while Primrose Hill and Kentish Town have quieter neighbourhood restaurants and good gastropubs.
London works in every season. Summer brings long evenings on the canal and the Heath, and the Camden Fringe fills small theatres in August. Spring and autumn are calmer for walking, and December is for markets and lights. Our concierge can book gig and theatre tickets, tables, canal trips and transfers.

The right house, not the nearest one
In Camden Town, a single street can separate the hum of the market from a silent Georgian terrace, and we know which homes sit on which side of that line. With 50+ properties in Camden Town, we can usually find the house that suits you rather than the one that happens to be free. Search by size, pool, location and price, or tell us what you have in mind and we will put together a shortlist.
Book direct
You book with us directly, with no booking fees. Questions about access, parking, pool heating or how far it really is to the nearest beach go to people who can find out the answer.
A concierge who knows the territory
Gig and theatre tickets, restaurant tables, canal boat trips, London Zoo visits, babysitters, and transfers from Heathrow and St Pancras. Our concierge team arranges all of it, leaving you free to decide which terrace to sit on.
A house for every kind of party
Couples, families with small children, three generations together or a crowd of friends celebrating a birthday: we match the house to the group, down to the number of bathrooms and whether the pool is fenced.
