The psychedelic concerts at The Roundhouse probably marked the moment that Camden became cool, long before Amy Winehouse became the local diva who died much too young. Both are locally well-known, but what about the spiritualist temple that Sherlock Holmes helped build or the folk dance revival that started in a Camden Hay Market or the site of the Camden Town Murder?
Camden might have the best eels and mash shop in North London but it was also the home of a local priest who was deported as a political undesirable and of a Black
revolutionary who was known all over the world.
Curious Camden Town explores thirty or so locations across this lively locality and brings to life the remarkable stories attached to them.
