    Camden Town

    60’s
    Camden Town was founded in 1791 and is named after Charles Pratt, 1st Earl of Camden.
    In 1791, Sir Pratt started to develop the area by slowly building houses and estates on each
    side of the road, his idea was to create a place for the educated middle and upper classes,
    but it is not until 60 years later that the main parts of the city are completely built.

    However, Camden didn’t become the quiet residential suburb that the Earl had in mind. this
    due to the opening of Regent's Canal in 1820 and the construction of the railroad that
    divided the city in two, not only geographic, but also culturally. This is perhaps how
    Camden became a place of no judgments and individuality. By 1910, the town welcomed
    multitude of theatres and cinemas which slowly improved its reputation.

    The 60’s probably marked the biggest shift in Camden Town’s history, which was when it
    became a place of cultural revolution. Indeed, rock and psychedelia came into fashion and
    The Roundhouse was where those revolutions took place. A venue where music, culture,
    politics and the youth all came together.
