Koko must be a step up from Electric Ballroom then as I can't imagine Madonna there! Then again maybe she's going through a rough and dirty fad? LOLThanks for the updates, I wrote the guide above a...

Crown and Goose used to be one of my staple lunch time haunts - I worked for 4.5 years (until 2002) in Greater London House, the grand building opposite the entrance to Mornington Crescent Tube...

Greater London House - That's the old Black Cat factory right?I worked for Camden Council for five years in the 90s, and I have to say that the Camden of today is worse than the camden of the 90s. The...

Yes, that's the building. The old Carerras factory. And I agree about the changes in the stretch of Camden between Camden tube and Mornington tube stations. I can tell you exactly what has caused this...

I have to own up to being one of those "Authorities". The introduction of the zero tolerance zone in kings Cross - Operation Welwyn, had some rather unexpected blow back. It coincided with the...

Aah! It's YOUR fault! (Don't worry, I'm kidding)To be honest, it just does NOT seem like rocket science to me that if you deal with a problem in one area by chasing the "undesirables" out they are...

LOL, no you did not!I would add that, whilst I wouldn't advocate sending naive teens to Camden on their own, or at least, not out-of-towners, that I have always felt perfectly safe as an adult even on...

I would add that despite my rather alarming posts, Camden Town is safe enough - It is also, of course, a haven of wrong 'uns. It may come as some surprise but Camden Market is Britain's biggest...

Thanks for this, Kavey. I certainly need it.I tried to go to Camden Market once, but guess I didn't go far enough down the street from the tube station. I never got as far as the canal before losing...

This was posted on Fodors a couple of years ago so a search would have brought it up (assuming you're a visitor of that forum) but perhaps it will prove useful on the next trip?
