Great way to spend an evening
We had a wonderful Friday evening being shown around Camden by Alison. She knows a lot of the old and new stories about the area and it wasn't all about bands from the 1990s. We saw a lot of the venues, walked through some interesting areas, learned about the pubs. She knew the history from the 1920s to the present and the happenings in the 1960s through 1980s as well. She really brought it to life and it was a great way to see the area.
Why are you reading this? Go already!
Alison is a great tour guide with tons of information and first hand stories. I know the tour only scratched the surface. She is fun and passionate about music and Camden, which makes for a great tour. It was worth every penny (pence)! In addition to visiting some great historical music spots, you get to walk around Camden, which is hands down my favourite area of London! So stop reading already and book it!
