Description
Starts: Outside Camden Road Overground Station (NOT Camden Town tube) NW1
Ends: Parliament Hill Fields (nearest stations Kentish Town tube or Gospel Oak overground)
Stop at The Vine pub for lunch/refreshment, feeding and changing halfway.
Discover the hidden gem of Kentish town, often overshadowed by its more well-known neighbours Camden Town and Hampstead. Follow its development from idyllic Sunday afternoon retreat to live music mecca. Who made the ill fated decision to alight at the ghost tube station of South Kentish town? Which street was described as the most immoral in Victorian Kentish Town? And who described Kentish Town as an odious swap? Home to trailblazers such as Emma Hamilton and first Ghanaian Prime Minister Kwame Nkrumah, you'll soon find there is more than meets the eye as we scratch beneath the surface of Kentish town.
