Camden on fire

A newsflash today caught my eye more than usual, as there was a big fire going on in Camden. From what I heard the Canal Market is partly gone, but Lock Market and Stables Market seems to be alright. I’ve heard contradictory numbers but some claim up to a third of the markets fell prey to the fire.

This area in northern London is home to a lot of alternative shops, pubs and weird places. I’ve spent too much time and money in that place and friends live there. Nowadays it tends to be overrun with tourists, but there is still a fair selection of goth clothing and beautiful boots.

It’s been some years since my last visit, and now I suppose it will take even longer until next time.
