Hear how musicians, artists, alternative culture and a changing London transformed the neighbourhood, and helped create the world-famous Camden Market. Then the city changes... We leave Camden's urban energy behind and join the beautiful Regent's Canal. Walk beside colourful narrowboats, under elegant bridges and waterside homes as we follow a waterway that once carried goods through industrial London and today feels like a hidden oasis.
