If you want to realize how was this area before the creation of Camden, you should read the dark descriptions of Charles Dickens' Novels. Orphans, poor people and homeless lived there in miserable way of living until the WWII.

Everything has changed now, thanks to the reorganization in the 40". Camden was transformed into a young, dynamic and famous borough. Some stars live or lived in there like Amy Whinehouse and Orlondo Bloom. Now pubs, club and restaurant have invaded this place.
