Once you get overwhelmed by Camden (and you will, as the shopping experience has grown eightfold in the last decade) there is a really lovely walk along the regent canal that offers a calm and relaxing experience.
We began our father and daughter day out with lunch in a vegan place in the market. Actually we went there twice. We had mains and sides, then went shopping, then went back for puddings. It got a bit messy at one point:
Camden of course is a great place for people watching, and one person in particular enjoyed their shopping for “Swiftie” memorabilia:
The cyclists – and the wheeled luggage brigade – can be a bit annoying particularly on the towpaths:
The canal itself has many houseboats, most of them refuges for the more eccentric local residents. There is even a floating bookshop:
And there are of course dogs:
A great day out. Just be warned there is a stretch of the canal which goes through a mile long tunnel and you have to go “over the hill” and pick it up where it emerges – but even here we discovered another vegan restaurant (Jamaican) that we will return to at some point.
