As part of my job i need to visit various parts of the borough of Camden, this week i was in Kentish Town, and whilst i was there i took the opportunity to take a few snaps.
It's really the first time i've properly explored the area, and i must say i was very pleasantly surprised. Kentish Town is just down the road from its more famous neighbour Camden Town, and is more of a local high street - it has the usual shops, a Tube Station etc etc....on the whole it has a reputation as being a little rough around the edges. But if you explore the back streets there are some very well preserved victorian terraced townhouses - it all looks rather nice.
Anyway, on with the pics - enjoy....(oh and if you are nice there may be more pics of Camden Borough to come, as and when i take them
)

20. Some delapidation...
21. Now, moving up towards Highgate (but still in what i would class as 'Kentish Town' - even if the residents don't agree :| ). This is Little Green Street, it's been in the local news recently because the area behind it is going to be redeveloped, and little green street is the only access point for lorries....as you can see, its about 6ft wide and this will cause disruption, and 'ruin' little green street. They even have a poster....:happy:

37. Now down to Tufnell Park - a rather non-descript area, save for this gem..
38. Shame it has this pile of utter shite next to it :ohno:.....what the hell is that pathetic attempt a spire all about?? (EDIT: and can somone plant a nail bomb next to the company that makes those god awful, tacky "FOOD & WINE" signs....i really am pissed off seeing them clamped to the side of every crappy corner shop in London )
