the history of candem town.

Camden Town is one of the most visited places in world. It's a place that stands out for its individuality, home to the misfits, artists, musicians, tattoo artists and burlesque dancers. In fact, Camden is home to anyone who wants to call it so.   But did you ever wonder how a place becomes so emblematic? Let’s go back to the origin of Camden Town.    Camden and the Industrial Revolution Camden was split in two, not only geographically but also culturally as it now welcomed the both upper class (situated around the Regent’s Park area) and the working class (towards St Pancras).   With the railways and the canal emerged industries which transformed the suburban area in a place of noise and steam that offered inexpensive accommodation. Amongst others, piano manufacturers (one of Camden's main trades), wine merchants, gin distillers and soft-drink makers settled down in Camden and by the end of the 19th century it was quickly becoming over-crowded.
