London Borough of Camden

The London Borough of Camden extends from Hampstead Heath in the north to central London districts of Covent Garden and Holborn in the south.

The borough was established in 1965 through the consolidation of three former metropolitan areas: Hampstead, Holborn, and Saint Pancras into one administrative unit.

Camden houses major institutions including the British Museum, British Library, and University College London, forming a significant center of education and heritage.

The district contains three of London's main railway stations - King's Cross, Saint Pancras International, and Euston - connecting travelers to northern England and Europe.

Camden Market, starting as a small crafts fair in 1974, has grown into six distinct markets with more than 1000 shops and food establishments.
