Homes in Camden Town
Camden Town's housing is largely early to mid-Victorian stucco and brick terraces, many converted into flats, alongside post-war council blocks and modern apartments by the Regent's Canal. Primrose Hill, next door, has some of London's most sought-after pastel stucco terraces and villas.
The area sits on London Clay, and Victorian houses here commonly have shallow foundations, basements and rear additions. Railway lines running into Euston, together with the canal, mean some homes are affected by noise, vibration or construction disruption, including from HS2 works. Somers Town, between Euston and St Pancras, has interwar and post-war council blocks, some of them listed. Prices for Victorian houses in Primrose Hill are among the highest in north London.
Areas we cover include Camden Town, Primrose Hill, Chalk Farm, Regent's Park, Somers Town.
