Beautiful area to walk, shop & see the views of the harbor. We didn't eat there because of time constraint, but lots of places to eat

This street starts from the statue of Richard Cobden, on Hampstead Road, and ends where Chalk Farm Road starts. I loved the bohemian atmosphere of this street. It has the Camden Town Underground Station opening on it. We saw colourful eclectic shopfronts which were as good as art installations. This street has a strange eclectic punk feel. This is a historic street in many respects. One reason is that it has the very first public toilets for women in London. Campaigners like George Bernard Shaw advocated for this cause because before those times it was considered a taboo subject if the women used toilets outside their homes. This street has also been the music hub of London. We visited many famous pubs, tattoo shops and music clubs here like Koko and The Electric Ballroom.

This section of Camden is just incredibly beautiful and historic at the same time. Over 60 homes are on the National Register. Just a walk around the neighborhood is wonderful.

Beautiful historic homes and inns that are architectural marvels, great library, harborview park designed by the Olmsted Brothers, and some eyecatching storefronts in the shopping district.

Drive around this area only takes 10 minutes. Fun to look at the homes, but would have liked to have a walking tour or home visits of some historical residences, which was not available.

One of the nicer villages in Maine. Great walks around the historic district and surrounding areas. The stores are a little "touristy," but nice homes and carefully attended gardens.

We went to Portland and Camden on this visit and we found Camden more responsible and vibrant than Portland. Shops and restaurants were open and almost everybody was wearing a mask and kept distance. Lots of choices and a good atmosphere.

This is the place to stay. High Street is just beautiful. The historic homes are from the 19th century and have a date plaque on each building. The range was approximately 1810-1865. The street is lined with B&Bs and it is an easy walk to the center of Camden.
