Camden High Street

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Camden High Street is a short stretch of road (less than 500m long, forming part of the A400) in Camden Town, in London, England. It is part of the route from central London to Hampstead. It is the local high street and features major music venues at either end (the Camden Palace at the southern end and Underworld at the northern end). There is a widespread misapprehension that the continuation of the route north through the Camden Market area is part of Camden High Street, but it is actually Chalk Farm Road.

It is a one-way street only allowing vehicular traffic to travel northwards (southbound traffic uses the parallel Camden Street).

Travelling north, traffic emerges from Hampstead Road (A400) into the High Street at the junction with Eversholt Street, by Mornington Crescent tube station.

The northern extremity of Camden High Street lies just north of the five-way junction formed with Parkway, the southern end of Chalk Farm Road, Kentish Town Road (where the A400 continues) and Camden Road. Camden Town tube station is on the corner between Camden High Street and Kentish Town Road.
