About

Camden Town ward lies in the northern part of the London Borough of Camden, centred around the convergence of several major transport routes at Camden Town Tube station. The area is defined by the Regent's Canal to the south and the railway lines into Euston and St Pancras to the east. Its built environment is a mix of Georgian and Victorian terraced housing, postwar social housing estates, and large-scale commercial properties along its main thoroughfares.

The ward is internationally known for its markets, which extend from the High Street into the former industrial yards and stables near the canal. A network of locks and the canal basin itself are integral to the area's layout and commercial character. The ward contains a significant portion of Regent's Park, including the open spaces of Primrose Hill, which offers panoramic views of the London skyline.
