Camden has long been a haven for London's artistic souls, a mass congregation of writers, musicians and visual artists; this is where you will find some of the most
colorful people the city has to offer with their pink dreads and day-glow t-shirts.
There are more tattoo and piercing studios than anywhere else in the city, a live venue to satisfy every musical palate, a multi-cultural smorgasbord of cuisine and more than enough pubs, clubs, and bars to keep you perpetually entertained. In the centre of all this action you'll find St. Christopher's Camden hostel.
During the daylight hours Camden Market is the place to get lost while finding just about anything from anywhere. Comprised of six sprawling markets dotting the high street, Camden Markets will reveal a plethora of fashion, arts, crafts, furniture, international food and drink, antiques, jewellery, music and souvenirs. So many treasures, you'll definitely want to take a full day to explore it all.
Any musical connoisseur will appreciate Camden's roots in rock history with from the infamous Roundhouse where Pink Floyd, Jimi Hendrix and Cream all wow-ed crowds; to the modern day Camden Palace (it is called KOKO's now) and the birth of Britpop. Blur and Oasis were both living and playing around Camden when they raced each other to the top of the charts in the early 90's. But the musical appeal extends beyond rock to classical, folk, jazz, trance, house, punk or
Goth.
Situated conveniently between Camden Town and Mornington Crescent tube stations, city central St. Christopher's is within minutes of all the must see tourist attractions. Not sure where to start, our fun-loving staff will be brimming with ideas on how to make the most of your London adventure. And when you've had enough of the big city rush make yourself at home in our relaxed chill out room, fully equipped with TV, internet couches and cushions.
