Camden Lock: Music and Revolution by the Old Canal

Camden Town has been a hotbed of musical scenes and counter-cultures for over 50 years. But where did it get the grit and charm that has inspired so many musicians and writers? From open fields to steam and stench, industrial powerhouse to drinkers’ paradise, and from radical thinkers to musical rebellion — what is it that put this tiny area of Camden Town on the global stage and spawned cultural movements that changed the world? Join us as we look beyond the t-shirt stands and souvenir stalls to discover the places where counter cultures were born and music history was made. Find out how Camden Town became the beating heart of Rock, Punk, Britpop and beyond! The tour naturally ends in one of Camden’s fine pubs.
This walk takes place on Saturday mornings and starts at 10.45am to beat the big crowds.
