60 Places for 60 Years of the London Borough of Camden

The London Local Government Act of 1963 significantly changed the way that London was governed and administered. 

The act created a two tier system of governance with the Greater London Council taking over from the London County Council, and the 32 metropolitan boroughs being brought under a smaller number of borough councils. 

One of these was the London Borough of Camden, formed in April 1965, bringing together the former metropolitan boroughs of Hampstead, Holborn, and St Pancras.

The name of the borough comes from the first Earl Camden, Charles Pratt who was responsible for the  development of Camden Town, starting in 1791.

To celebrate 60 years of Camden, starting in April, we will be exploring 60 places across the whole of the borough, places which tell a story of the history of this significant part of London.

There will be a blog post for each story, and the location of each story will be added to the following map.

Follow along as we explore 60 Places for 60 Years of the London Borough of Camden.

“I thought the tour was excellent and although we only scratched the surface of what’s around and available in the surroundings of the Crick, it was really informative and interesting/exciting”.
