What to do and see in Camden, England: The Best Things to do

April 8, 2022 Karren Gelb

The crown jewels, Buckingham Palace, Camden Market…in London, history collides with art, fashion, food, and good British ale. A perfect day is different for everyone: culture aficionados shouldn't miss the Tate Modern and the Royal Opera House. If you love fashion, Oxford Street has shopping galore. For foodies, cream tea at Harrod’s or crispy fish from a proper chippy offers classic London flavor. Music and book buffs will love seeing Abbey Road and the Sherlock Holmes Museum (at 221B Baker Street, of course).

Such a wide range of fantastic tasting and sometimes very rare teas. Don, Celine & all the staff have always been very friendly & certainly know what they’re taking about. A chilled, relaxed atmosphere that certainly contrasts with the madness of Camden. I always end up leaving happy & will certainly be back for more.

I bought the tickets for my niece for her Xmas present (aged 11), we took her friend, and myself and my wife (in our 40’s & 50’s) we all really enjoyed it, it was great fun, and would recommend for all ages. We will definitely be back, for more drumming fun.

A rich place that makes us think about religion, tradition, migration, life and death. It makes us remember that the history of mankind is made of people and their actions... Definitely worth the visit!

Green Note

Reviewed By Bridstow - Peterborough, United Kingdom

Our first visit to the Green Note won’t be the last. At first sight we wondered what to expect, but on entering the Green Note we were given a warm welcome by the doorman. This is an award winning live music venue in Camden Town less that a 5 Minute walk from Camden Town tube station. We were attending a show by ‘The Lowest Pair’. They are not the subject of this review but I can highly recommend checking their music out. The Green Note provides an intimate live music venue with acts of the highest quality. We were in the room on the ground floor. It has a well stocked bar to the rear of the room and small stage at the front. You are not far from the stage wherever you are. There was a great atmosphere and feel about the place; and the acoustics outstanding. Although we didn’t eat there on this occasion, the food looked very tasty. We can’t wait for an opportunity to go back.

The Sheephaven Bay

Reviewed By Vazbo - Stirling, United Kingdom

My husband and I came here 3 times when we were in London recently. We found out about it from a friend of ours else we'd never have found it. It's situated a street or two back from Camden High Street - what a great pub! Friendly and welcoming staff and friendly locals. A good Irish bar with a great atmosphere. Serves food too and the nachos were simply d-e-l-i-c-i-o-u-s!! We watched a Celtic game here as it's the meeting point for Camden Celtic Supporters. Cheaper priced drinks than on the High St too. Easily reached by Tube (Camden Town) but Mornington Crescent Tube is nearer. Worth a visit.
