Is Camden Town worth it in a day?

Worth itIn a day

Even on a tight schedule, Camden Town earns the hours.

Allow 2–4 hrs.

Punky, chaotic and fun: warren-like markets, brilliant global street food along the canal, and legendary music venues. Great for younger travellers and a cheap eat. Catch: it's intensely crowded and a bit tatty, pickpockets work the crush, and it can overwhelm.
