Hotels in Camden, London

Camden is London at its most alternative — the sprawling market stalls, canal-side food, live-music institutions and a punk-and-goth heritage that still colours the streets. Around Camden Lock and Regent's Canal you'll find vintage clothing, street food from every continent and venues that launched half of British music. It suits younger travellers and music fans who want grit and character over polish, and it's well placed for Regent's Park and London Zoo. Weekends get genuinely packed; midweek is calmer. The Northern line links you straight to the West End and the City.
