BEST OF CAMDEN ! |
As you know, Camden is a pretty special place when it comes to shopping, eating out and nightlife, with some of the most unique shops and venues in London. In this section we are going to be reveiling Camden's hidden jems, the places you can't miss, and the places that contribute to the diversity and individuality of Camden.
WE DO NOT SUPPORT HUGE CHAINS!! Camden is one of the few areas left in London that hasnt been comercialised - we want to promote unique shops and only small chains - so they can continue to make Camden the amazing and unique place it is!
If would would like to suggest a cafe, shop, bar, restaurant or any other business to be featured in this section - email us here submit@ilovecamden.info with the name and address of the business, and why it is special to you!

CAMDEN COFFEE SHOP
11 Delancey Street , London , NW1 7NL
Follow your nose off Camden High Street to the Camden Coffee Shop for some of the finest tasting coffee you can find. This is not a trendy Starbucks, it's a traditional shop that sells bags of coffee. You can choose your own blend, or pure coffee from a selection of beans (we recommend the Ethiopian Mocha), and take home one of the best tasting, freshly ground bags of coffee you can find. |

CYBERDOG
Unit 14, Stables Market, Chalk Farm Rd, NW1 8AH
This shop sells some seriously funky club wear for all you ravers’ out there! Kitted out better than most of London nightclubs, covered in UV lights and playing some seriously good tunes you’ll find it easy to forget where you are! Stepping out of Cyberdog and turning right into the peace and serenity of the antiques market you know you can only be in Camden to go from such an extreme to another! |
 |
FRESH AND WILD
49 Parkway, Camden, London NW1 7PN
Offering a wide selection of organic and health foods, it certainly is a treat going into this shop! The smells are delicious, and the food counter is almost impossible to pass! There are lots of treats on offer to sample at various counters as you shop – but beware! You can easily spend a small fortune as once you try their organic and ethical foods it will be hard to resist! |
 |
GOODFARE RESTAURANT + CAFE
26 Parkway, London NW1 7AH
Great prices, a friendly service, and most importantly fantastic food, the Goodfare Restaurant and Café is great for any meal!It is a true neighbourhood place with the staff recognizing most of their clientel, which shows it's a place that attracts returning visitors, including the I Love Camden team! Their home made lasagne is our favourite and in fact one of the best we’ve tasted! |
 |
INSPIRAL LOUNGE
250 Camden High Street, Camden Lock, NW1 8QS
This place certainly is one to inspire! We love their delicious and nutritious veggie and vegan food as much as their ethos. On offer is fantastic cutting edge music, poetry, creative thinkers, musicians, multi-media visual art and thought provoking conscious films and books. There is always something going on – so there is always an excuse to visit when you’re in Camden! |
 |
MY VILLAGE CAFE
37 Chalk Farm Road, London NW1
It doesn’t look much from outside, but once you venture in, it is almost like stepping into a Moroccan souk. Healthy and organic foods on offer, and possibly the most friendly service around! While we just popped in for a tea, the owner brought us a small bowl of home made soup to sample and a shot of the most amazing hot chocolate – in fact, it is worth a visit for the hot chocolate alone! |
 |
NONNA'S DELI
127-129 Parkway London NW1 7PS
Next door to Gordon Ramsey’s new restaurant “The York and Albany” – Nonna’s deli is in what used to be stables, and opens out directly onto the street so you can wander inside (and back in time) to browse through the jars of home made jams, the finest seasonal goods and the freshest produce.

ODDBALLS
200B Camden Lock, Chalk Farm Rd, NW1 8AB
This place makes you want to run away and join the Circus! So much to choose from: diabolo sticks, juggling balls, poi and fire poi, devil sticks, unicycles, fire equipment, spinning plates, and of course books and DVDs to teach you how to use your new equipment! |

TOASTED

This café is so cool! It feels like you have walked into your best friend’s older brothers’ bedroom! Walls lined in old comic pages, you can sit down on one of the couches to a tea and toast for only £1.. Could you feel more at home? Of course you could, Toasted have a selection of retro games to play, including Street Fighter on the Mega Drive, word and card games, and even a Rubix Cube! |
