Well it was back in the 1970s I was a big user of Camden Libraries. I was well well served there though!

Me too.

I think The Lamb is where my husband always meets up with his best mate when he goes back on work trips.

There's a really good bicycle shop on that road, Lamb's Conduit, too.

Dubious caf, corner of Theobalds Road/Kingsway/Southampton Row , next to a place that sold "bagels". Used to go there for greasy bacon sandwiches.

Lloyds Bank was opposite. Bank is still there.

That corner is the Grange Hotel now. I believe there is now a Japanese Restaurant there. I know the Lloyds Bank well, it's in Victoria House, a building where my father worked from the 1940s until the 1970s when he retired.

No, it was diagonally opposite what is now the hotel.

Sixth form coll. was right there, expelled students, international students and general misfits, and the teachers were pretty much the same. I had a wonderful time. We also used to drink at the Museum Pub.

Camden Market and Camden Lock.....a very interesting part of London....and if you like a typical and very noisy Irish pub then this is the place for you.....but my favourite London Market is just south of the River.........Borough Market, literally in the shadow of Southwark Cathedral...if you can't buy it there then it doesn't exist.

In fact I hate Camden Market and Camden Lock area. Just too crowded all day and every day. I like the walk from St. Pancras to Regents Park along the canal though... You have to negotiate the crowds for a couple of hundred yards, otherwise the walk is pretty tranquil. There are a few nice pubs in Camden Town but not particularly Irish. I go to the Spreadeagle whenever I go to London.
