Camden Town is an area of North London, England, in the London Borough of Camden. Camden Town is sometimes referred to simply as "Camden", but it should not be confused with the borough. Camden Town is an inner-city district located 2.3 miles (3.7 km) north of Charing Cross, and is famous for its crowded market and as a centre for alternative lifestyles. The area is popular with students, including those from overseas. It is also an area with a large congregation of people following alternative subcultures, most notably goth, punk and emo.
Camden is well-known for its markets: these are of relatively recent date, except for Inverness Street Market, a small food market good for fruit and vegetables serving the local community, though now with more touristy stalls on weekends. Camden Lock Market proper started in a former timber yard in 1973, and is now surrounded by satellites: Buck Street Market, Stables Market, Camden Canal Market, and an indoor market in the Electric Ballroom.
