Camden Town: northwest of the city
Get ready to discover Camden Town, one of London’s most iconic and vibrant neighbourhoods, where music and counterculture beat on every corner. This tour will take you to the heart of a place full of history, art, rebellion and unforgettable sounds.
Camden was the stage and the refuge of great artists: the one and only Amy Winehouse, the pioneers of British ska Madness, and Britpop legends such as Oasis and Coldplay, who found in Camden the perfect place to begin their musical conquest.
