卡姆登是伦敦北部内城区的一个区域。其核心是卡姆登镇,这是一个以其市场和色彩缤纷的夜生活而闻名的街区。卡姆登是伦敦三个最重要的火车站所在地:国王十字站、圣潘克拉斯站和尤斯顿站。
了解
[]
半个世纪以来,卡姆登镇,卡姆登的中心,一直是伦敦的另类文化中心,无论是朋克、哥特、嬉皮还是情绪摇滚。该地区拥有大型市场,出售从发光T恤到迪吉里杜管的各种产品,大部分来自独立摊位。卡姆登拥有首都一些最多样化的美食、绝佳的现场音乐和“一切皆有可能”的态度,是伦敦所有地区中最具活力和最有趣的地区之一。
该地区起源于19世纪初,当时是通往伦敦北部道路上的一个郊区城镇。后来,它围绕着铁路、运河和其他交通枢纽发展成为一个服务中心。卡姆登几乎整个地区传统上都是工人阶级的内城区域,拥有大量破败的公共住房和一些确实非常肮脏的地区。然而,鉴于其便利的伦敦内城位置,该地区不可避免地发生了相当程度的士绅化。尽管如此,这里仍然保留着友好的社区氛围,许多不同的人都曾在这里成长,例如歌手艾米·怀恩豪斯和工党政治家埃德·米利班德。
概览
[]此处涵盖的卡姆登区比卡姆登镇小,但比卡姆登行政区(London Borough of Camden)大。这是为了实用性:前者是一个相当小的历史区域,后者仅是一个行政单位,但您可能会看到“卡姆登”一词有矛盾的用法。按照这里的用法,卡姆登区大致相当于1965年之前存在的圣潘克拉斯都市自治市(Metropolitan Borough of St. Pancras)的北部一半。
伦敦的三个主要火车站位于该区的南部。它们都位于尤斯顿路(Euston Road)上,这是伦敦内环路的一部分。国王十字站和圣潘克拉斯国际站就隔街相望(它们由同一个地铁站服务),再往西一点是尤斯顿站。几条重要的主干道也汇聚在卡姆登或其附近。
对于旅行者来说,将卡姆登区划分为四个区域可能很有用。中心是卡姆登镇,其主要干道是卡姆登高街(Camden High Street)和乔克法姆路(Chalk Farm Road)。北线地铁贯穿该区域,大部分景点都位于此处。卡姆登镇的西南方向是尤斯顿,那里有同名的火车站,但除此之外只有写字楼和市政住房。东南方向是被称为国王十字的区域,那里有国王十字站和圣潘克拉斯国际站。国王十字区曾经因卖淫、毒品和犯罪而闻名,但如今该地区大部分正在重新开发,并变得更加高档化。最后,在卡姆登镇的东北方向是肯蒂什镇,它通过从卡姆登高街分出的肯蒂什镇路(Kentish Town Road)与卡姆登的其他地区相连。这是一个有趣的地区,在某些方面是卡姆登镇的小型姊妹区,它比南部的邻居更安静,但具有许多相同的特征。
抵达
[]
乘坐地铁
[]该地区由以下收费区1和2的地铁站服务,均由北线(Northern line)服务:
- 尤斯顿 NOR VIC (Zone 1)
- 尤斯顿广场 ( CIR H&C MET (Zone 1)
- 国王十字/圣潘克拉斯 CIR H&C MET NOR PIC VIC (Zone 1)

北线、皮卡迪利线和维多利亚线属于“夜间地铁”服务,在周五和周六夜间运行。
乘巴士
[]从伦敦北部或内城几乎任何地方乘坐巴士前往卡姆登都很方便,主要巴士停靠站靠近
- 国王十字站
- 尤斯顿站
- 卡姆登高街和乔克法姆

夜间,N5和N20路公交车大致沿北线运行,可以在地铁服务关闭时作为替代。
乘地上铁
[]卡姆登通过两条伦敦Overground线路相连:一条是位于米尔德梅线( MLD (北伦敦线)上的里士满至斯特拉特福的车站;另一条是位于狮子女线( LIO )(沃特福德DC线)上,从伦敦尤斯顿站到沃特福德枢纽站的车站。
如果您从伦敦东部或西部抵达卡姆登,这会非常有用,因为从这些地区出发的大多数其他选项都需要先到市中心,然后再返回卡姆登。
乘火车
[]卡姆登由三个主要的火车站服务:尤斯顿站、圣潘克拉斯国际站和国王十字站。这三个火车站都可以通过伦敦地铁的北线和维多利亚线直达。

其他车站

- 卡姆利街自然公园, 12 Camley St, N1C 4PW (地铁: King's Cross St. Pancras CIR DIS H&C NOR PIC VIC

购物
[]
卡姆登镇市场
[]卡姆登镇的市场是大多数人来卡姆登的原因。从卡姆登镇到查尔克农场地铁站之间,以及周末,好几个市场挤在一起,很难区分。随着旅游业的增长,市场变得更加商业化,不如以前独特了。然而,只需坚持穿过最商业化的部分,然后继续深入市场更有趣的地方,仍然可以找到一些很棒的东西——衣服、艺术品、书籍、唱片。
- The Lock Market (靠近卡姆登码头). 周六 周日 9AM-6PM. 许多商店主要集中在音乐和服装方面。这就是大多数人谈论“卡姆登市场”时所指的市场。

- The Stables Market (在铁路桥旁边,横跨查尔克农场路,就在Lock Market之后)。 部分商店全周开放,但大多数摊位只在周六 周日 9AM-6PM开放. 这是卡姆登最大的市场区域,拥有数百个摊位,销售从非洲艺术品到床、恋物服饰再到古董等各种商品。这里可能是伦敦最适合购买有趣服装的地方,包括复古、哥特、赛博朋克和一般的俱乐部装。Cyberdog本身就值得一看,地下室里有一些成人用品。Burleska和Sai Sai是众多核心服装店中的几家。

- 卡姆登码头村. 这里曾经的三层市场在2008年被烧毁。之后重新开放,但该区域只有一些小摊位。业主正在申请重新开发计划。

- Inverness Street Market (在查尔克农场路对面,卡姆登地铁站)。 这是一个小型市场,出售各种普通商品,如水果和蔬菜、廉价服装和其他杂物。Inverness Street Market是卡姆登最小的市场,但它是卡姆登最原始的本地市场,比其他市场早几十年。

- The Buck Street Market. 这是您从地铁站右转时看到的第一个市场,有一个大招牌宣称它是“卡姆登市场”。然而,它只出售在世界各地几乎每个城市都能找到的典型搞笑T恤、仿冒名牌靴子、钥匙链等。

商店
[]
除了市场,该地区周围还散布着许多有趣的商店。
慢慢地沿着查尔克农场路(人群太多,快走是不可能的!),仔细看看这里占据主导地位的各式靴子和皮革。特别值得一提的是
- Amsterdam London Shop, 232 Camden High St, NW1 8QS. 每日 9AM–7PM. 可能是伦敦最棒的奇特物品供应商。他们还出售大麻和哈希烟具。

- Official Doc Martens Boot Co. (The British Boot Company), Kentish Town Rd, NW1 8NH (tube: Camden Town NOR ), ☏ +44 20 7485-8505. M-W: 10:30AM-7:30PM, Th-Su: 10AM-7:30PM. Selling Doc Martens since the 1960s. The proprietor is always happy to talk and has some fun tales about the strange requests he has had from famous people.
- Rokit, 225 Camden High St, NW1 7BU. A proud upshoot that took its roots from Camden market and now has four high street stores across London.

- The Harry Potter Shop at Platform 9¾, King's Cross station, N1 9AP. Daily 9AM–7PM. One-stop emporium for all your wizarding needs, this is the official souvenir shop of the Harry Potter franchise in London. Adjacent is the eponymous platform, where you can have your picture taken pushing a luggage trolley through a solid wall. It's probably the only other Harry Potter-themed store in London outside of the WB Studio Tour in Watford.

餐饮
[]Camden has some of the most varied cuisine in all of London. A key part of Camden's food scene are the many stalls offering quick and tasty food from every country possible. Quality varies, but generally it is good and cheap. Stalls tend to be in and around the Lock and Stables markets, but they appear everywhere. A perennial favourite has been the donut and cake stall located next to the bridge, as have the many Chinese and Thai stalls nearby. Camden also contains a large number of more formal restaurants, many of which are relatively inexpensive and open after the stalls have closed.
- St. Pancras International Station, Pancras Rd. Every day. A selection of cafes at the station. Convenient for a quick bite.

奢侈
[]- Pullman London St. Pancras (formerly Novotel St. Pancras), 100 - 110 Euston Road (tube: King's Cross St Pancras MET NOR PIC CIR VIC H&C
或 Euston NOR VIC
), ☏ +44 20 7666-9000, fax: +44 20 7666-9025, H5309@accor.com. It is equidistant from the St. Pancras and Euston railway stations. This former corporate Novotel was taken over and completely refurbished by Accor's upscale Pullman brand. It features rather spacious rooms and interesting views from upper floors, as well as modern decor and fitments and all the creature comforts expected from an upscale hotel. £200 gets you a room with breakfast on most days.

The hotel is named after the Great Northern Railway, the company that built King's Cross station and operated it until 1923.
注意安全
[]Camden has long had strong associations with drugs, in particular cannabis (weed) and magic mushrooms. Even during daylight, you are likely to be offered weed or hashish. These dealers will usually accept no for an answer. Remember that these drugs are still illegal, streetside dealers are not to be trusted and often just steal your money if you look interested. Also, there are many undercover police around to catch you.
Walking around Camden at night is generally fine, but gangs of youths can seem threatening, and best avoided if alone. At night walking on well-lit streets, such as Camden High Street, is a good idea but take a taxi if you are feeling insecure.
Fake goods are found in abundance in Camden. Most of the time it's fairly obvious (Bolex watches, etc.), but be careful when purchasing - refunds are not common. Fake DVDs are mostly terrible quality.
下一站
[]Three very good parks are within walking distance of Camden
- Regent's Park lies along Camden's western edge, a beautifully planned garden where you can get away from the fast pace of London life.
- Primrose Hill, immediately to the north of Regent's Park, is easily within walking distance of Camden and has the best views over London.
- Hampstead Heath is less than 3 公里 (1.9 英里) away from the heart of Camden Town, or just a few tube stops away.
For shopping, Tottenham Court Rd with its famed electronics stores lies south out of Camden, close to Euston. At the other end of Tottenham Court Road is Oxford Street.
Looking further afield, from St. Pancras International you can catch the Eurostar for Paris, Lille or Brussels.
