Day 5: Goodbye beautiful Edinburgh, hello again vivid London!

As soon we arrived in London, we went to the hotel and tried to check in early but the room was not available. So we went to a tour in a very vibrant neighborhood where Amy Winehouse used to perform, Camden!

My dad found a walking tour through Camden and it was a great source of information. Here the link.

“Camden, in north London, is a lively district known for its alternative culture, music scene, and iconic market. Camden Market, one of the city’s biggest tourist attractions, offers diverse street food, vintage fashion, and unique crafts. The area has a rich musical history, with venues like the Roundhouse and Electric Ballroom hosting legendary performances. Camden Lock, along the Regent’s Canal, provides scenic waterside views. The neighborhood has a rebellious, creative spirit, attracting artists, musicians, and subcultures. Famous for its punk and goth influences, Camden remains a hotspot for nightlife, live music, and an eclectic mix of people and styles.” ChatGPT.

It sits within the City of Westminster and is bordered by Oxford Street to the north, Regent Street to the west, Leicester Square to the south, and Charing Cross Road to the east.” By ChatGPT.
