What is appealing to you?

and I want to feel young - got good memories of that relationship

Very busy, quite a lot of low level crime (phone thefts/muggings) a lot of homelessness and drug issues.

Lovely to visit, not so great to live past the age of 25. Noisy, busy, full of tourists, lots of drunkenness and drug use.

Loud, grimy, busy, edgy. Quite fun to visit, especially if you are a teenager, but I wouldn’t want to live there. It’s also no entry to the tube sometimes at the weekend due to the crowds.

I was about to say I’d love to live in Camden, but with the previous replies, maybe not.

Camden town is rough. High st way too busy and really, really loud problem with people experiencing homelessness on the streets, drug/drunk people passed out everywhere around the station area. Not a pleasant place. Go to Kentish town or Tufnell park. Really close to camden but lovely, vibrant and calm places to live.
