\n“My third day in London. I set out to explore Camden Town and Hampstead, and due to construction on the Tube I wasn’t able to directly transfer between the Central Line and Northern Line at Tottenham Court Road, so I ended up leaving the station and doing some exploring in the area before taking the Northern Line from Leicester Square to Camden Town. At Camden Town, I spent hours exploring the immense market — the photos can’t really do it justice — and then headed up to Hampstead for a quick walk around.<\/p>\n

I also walked around Stratford, Canary Wharf, and Regent Street, but my camera’s battery had died, so photos of those areas will have to wait.”<\/p>\n
