How your day could unfold
A flexible, unscripted experience designed entirely around your interests. Your host will adapt the day based on what excites you mostWhat you’ll do
Explore Camden, one of London's edgiest neighborhoods known for its electric atmosphere and contrasting diversity - oh, and of course its world-famous music credentials. You’ll join one of our local London hosts who will lead you through the tangle of back streets and alleyways dotted with independent music venues and wildly eclectic markets and splashed with street art.
To soak up the creative spirit of Camden, you could explore the lively main street, where you can hear inspiring stories from corner street artists or mingle with die-hard punk rockers sporting brightly colored mohawks.
Your host has a finger on the pulse of this music-obsessed neighborhood and can show you to some of the most awe-inspiring urban projects around, as well as taking you to the spots where music history has gone down.
Think astounding art installations, eclectic street art, and a beer in the pub where Amy Winehouse used to swap the stage for pulling pints. No trip to Camden is complete without visiting Camden Market, where you’ll uncover all sorts of treasures and trinkets in its twisting tunnels - just try not to get lost.

It was my parents first visit to London and Pierre did an awesome job. They book the 6 hours Candem tour, which was a full day of discovery led by Pierre. He made them feel very comfortable in a city they did not know anything about, gave them great advices on what to do on Christmas Day. They had a great experience. Could not have wish more for their first time in London ! Thank you !

We spent a delightful 6 hours with Alison as we walked through the Borough of Camden and other fun neighborhoods as Alison regaled us with stories about local musicians and artists. Alison's passion is British pop culture, music and literature, so book an experience with Alison, especially if you are a fan of British pop culture!
