For the uninitiated may I introduce you to Camden Town or ‘Chav Town’ as it’s know locally. Upon arrival you will be greeted by a man selling pants, not ordinary pants but fake calvins no less and to go with your new pants you will no doubt wish to purchase the obligatory ‘Burberry’ scarf, genuine of course. Once kitted out in your new clobber you can attend one of the fine local eateries to show of your new purchases, a wide choice of restaurants are on offer from the likes of burger King, MCD’s and our favourite Chicken Cottage!!! You may wish to stop on your way, to purchase the ultimate Chav accessory, a lighter in the shape of a gun so you can play at being a ‘gangsta’. Should you have trouble finding these restaurants just look down and follow the line of spit and empty cans of ‘White Star’. Once inside you can order from a wide range of exotic cusine (Burgers or chicken) and then while away the rest of your day bogging out people as they walk in or asking ‘Whats your fuckin’ problem’ and then sucking through your teeth. Should you tire of this you have Camden Market within spitting distance to really go to down for fake burberry and of course this seasons latest accessory, Von Dutch. A wide variety of smoking paraphernalia can be bought along with some ‘weed’ (straw) for those like minded. After a busy days spitting and shopping you will need a drink and where better than the Chavs favourite, a wetherspoons! (cunningly disguised by renaming it Lloyds) Here you can really go to down on cheap alco-pops and usually a fight. On behalf of the Camden Tourist Board we invite you to visit this beautiful part of London soon with your Chav mates or Hood Rats as we like to call them.
Camden Town is ok!! For once I disagree with this site. Some parts of London are dangerous (and I mean really, as in genuinly fear for your life), my friend lived on the Stockwell Park estate and had a nervous breakdown after 12 weeks. Camden is alright, believe me!
you sound like you need an artists studio in somewhere like Soho, where your skills can be realized -going from what you say it would be a f**king nightmare staring at the arsecrack of a pikey who fancies himself as a “playa”-
camden town -a place with too much going on…there are winos drug sellers drug takers weirdos galore punks goths skins extreme left extreme right -rude boys gangstas fetish freaks whatever you can imagine-even people who look like theyre from another world!!!
a chav place this isnt however, it is diverse an diverse is direct contradiction to chav. Correct it is a sewer, it is a dump, but well with glory comes grief, and theres plenty of grief here.
Every extreme oddity will be catered for here, vampires, satanists, indie fans, right on brigade, animal rights right on brigade-cber industrialist techno goths-jesus!! the list goes on, but like i say, burburry is rare here as boy racers belong to parochial minded areas-which camden certainly isnt!!!
Its a place with a unique spirit, and is worthy of a visit, but to live its expensive and its like a carnival on your doorstep every day…not good. Paying 230 k to secure a 1 bed flat in a converted victorian house is very silly-its a scuffy unkempt and largly ignored dump which attracts lowlifes, so take your money elsewhere-regents park down the road, and ok shell out 335-385 for a 1 bed flat -but at least you live near london zoo, and overlook the Nash architecture, biliiant white stucco!-truly marvellous-and a gem to own.
Camden?-certainly do visit, but be happy you dont live there!!
