Camden Town: Canal and Music

Camden Town: Canal and Music is a self-guided audio walking tour that starts at Koko, 1A Camden High St, London NW1 7JE, on Thursday 15 October 2026 at 12:00. It traces the neighbourhood from its canal and railway days to the stages that made it the home of British music.

The route runs for about 3.7 km (2.3 miles) across 13 stops. Along the way, you'll pass a music hall turned nightclub, the pub where generations of bands played their first gigs, the lodging house built for working men, the lock-side market and the engine shed that became a legendary concert venue. The stops include the Carreras Cigarette Factory, the Jewish Museum London, the Hawley Arms, Dingwalls, Camden Market and the statue of Amy Winehouse near the Roundhouse.

There's no in-person guide and no entry to the landmarks; the tour is delivered via the AudaTours app with up to 33 minutes of narration and offline access once downloaded. It's entirely at your own pace, so you can linger at the spots that interest you and keep moving through the rest. The tour costs £3.99.
