It is indeed. As the other markets have shifted relentlessly upmarket Camden remained largely true to its roots, even if those roots are selling slightly dodgy punk tat to Spanish tourists.

When I went back a few weeks ago for the first time in a couple of decades it was still recognisably the same place I used to wander to and around when I first moved to London in the early 80's. The same can't be said, for example, of Spitalfields.
