I’ll be honest, I never used to care much for Camden – I’m talking back in the day when gaggles of emo girls from my school would make pilgrimages up to the capital to buy their black tutus and other market goodies. I’m delighted to be rediscovering good old Camden ‘Tahn’ now that I’m older; able appreciate the chilled but none the less vibrant culture of the place, oh and being able to drink helps!
Thanks mainly to the fact that I work in Mornington Crescent (making walking up after work an easy option) I can easily find myself up by the Lock, perusing the food stalls or jumping off to a gig at the Barfly or Roundhouse. A flock of exciting events, making their way into my inbox and on flyers on my desk, has allowed me to discover the colourful delights of Camden again, hooray!
A couple of weeks ago, one such cutely designed flyer persuaded me to pop along to Camden Lock Live which featured the best street food and drinks stalls, a (ping) pong-athon, cocktail trail and live music. Along with Mr Bluesky – it made for the perfect Friday evening activity with friends.
Thank you to my friend Mike for the photos!
There’s word of more events, this time with Backyard Cinema each Thursday this month. If you’re in the area, I might bump into you at the next Summer Night Market – meet you on the Rekorderlig lawn!
Check out more things to do in London on the London Fun page or Places in London category!
Looks like a fun to get involved with, I’ve just been at Beacons Festival which is another tiny (bigger than this true) music event. Oh, PING you have mail from me btw. Nice Nike’s.
Wow, that looks so much fun! Despite having lived in London for 6 years now, I’ve only been to Camden a couple of times – this looks so good, going to have to keep an eye out for more!
