Spend An Unforgettable Day At Camden Town In London!

Explore the history of Camden Town!

Camden Town has origins dating back as far as 1791, when Earl Camden and other citizens started developing these lands. At that time, this area was mainly agricultural land, but the situation changed once the Regent’s Canal was built. Barges, which transported cargo, were originally drawn by horses that pulled them on the towpaths along the canal. In the years to come, the territory along the Canal was built up with storehouses, stables, and various enterprises. The business here was successfully developing up until the 1950’s, when the automobile transport and railways began to replace the navigation on the Canal. Since then, Camden Town has had a totally new life, nowadays being one of the most popular and unique markets in London.
