The London Borough of Camden has so much to offer in the way of fabulous architecture; great attractions - galleries, museums, open spaces, Hampstead Heath for example, has some of the highest points in London, and with phenomenal views over the city, it has to be one of the best open spaces in the capital. Camden Town itself (from which the Borough was named after in 1795) is a jewel in London’s crown, a hive of activity visited by many people for many reasons, there are so many things to see and do.
My Organic Hunter is based in Camden and we can’t speak highly enough of the place. There’s a buzz and vibrancy here; we love the people, the shops, the markets, the lock, the cafes & restaurants, the pubs, and we love that there are so many ethical & eco-friendly businesses where we can eat, drink and shop. Even in the regions and neighbourhoods of the wider area of Camden Borough, there are many organic businesses in places such as Holburn, Covent Garden, and Primrose Hill.
Camden is energetic and cosmopolitan ... A cultural metropolis!
