Camden Town is a home to a number of international communities. It has to be one of the most vibrant, animated and the most astonishing place to live. You will see the most outlandish fashions, hairstyles and party atmosphere in this town, which makes it stand out.
Due to this and its wide array of public houses, colourful shops, gastro diners it is a magnet for locals and tourists to visit the district. It is estimated that 10 million people visit this place every year.
The Camden town was very rural until the nineteenth century, when the Regents Canal was created, the area started to thrive with small industries, traders and coal wharves.
By Victorian times, Camden Town had become tarnished and inhabited by the very poor or socially disadvantaged. However a group of English Post impressionist artists including Walter Sickert who lived in the district founded the Camden Town Group which attracted artists to the area.
In recent years the area has seen more professionals move into the area, with its new buildings, however it still has that feeling of vibrancy and party like atmosphere.
