Did you know?
"South Kentish tube station was closed for a power cut in 1924, but when power was restored, so few passengers used the station, that it was decided to not bother re-opening it."
One of London's most vibrant areas, Camden is a melting pot of alternative shops, bars, restaurants and markets selling weird and wonderful things!

When it's only a short distance to walk to Primrose Hill and St John's Wood, Swiss Cottage is in a prime spot.

Jessie Reid
Jessie Reid's second album Little Sparks is about hope, about those tiny moments of positivity that get us through the everyday, the glimmers of light hidden amongst the mundane. The young Shropshire artist's raw and intimate indie-folk has already racked up over 10 million streams, support from the likes of Chris Hawkins, Tom Robinson & Emily Pilbeam on BBC 6 Music, regular spins on BBC Radio Ulster & BBC Radio Wales, a regional BBC Introducing Artist of the Year accolade, and a breakfast show Single of the Day on LA tastemaker Nic Harcourt's SoCal 88.5FM. Of the new album, Jessie says: These songs stress the importance of noticing the small things that give us meaning, even when life feels heavy. Some are soft and personal, like Let Your Love Run Cold and Your Story. Others, such as Devil Calls and Cracks Forming, wrestle with darker feelings. Sitting somewhere in between are Against the Tide and Beauty in Sadness songs about struggle, but also about staying strong and holding on. Id like to think the title track Little Sparks ties it all together: the idea that even in the midst of the mundane, we can find sparks of light worth chasing and holding on to. I'm really proud of this record. It feels honest, and I hope these songs can be little sparks for anyone who needs them. Following 2024's Glastonbury and Camp Bestival debuts, Jessie enjoyed a great 2025 festival season with acclaimed sets at Fuse Fest, Kendal Calling, Green Man, Found Festival, Between The Trees and Moseley Folk. Her 2026 live schedule is already shaping up nicely. A songwriter wise beyond her years, Jessie's understated vocals and innovative percussive guitar style have drawn praise from tastemaker press and comparisons with the likes of Iron & Wine, Lucy Rose, Memorial & Ben Howard, with tracks enjoying wide editorial support at Spotify, including the coveted Most Beautiful Songs in the World playlist, and sync placements on Channel 4, SKY and ITV.Read more

Aadal + Georgie Hume & the Pity Party
AADAL Aggressive Hymns, Energetic Ballads Album Release Concert Norwegian instrumental quartet AADAL returns with a special concert marking the release of their new album Aggressive Hymns, Energetic Ballads, arriving in late February 2026. Their music drifts between Nordic melancholy, Americana-tinged landscapes, and modern jazz, creating something both intimate and cinematic. One reviewer once wrote, If Leonard Cohen, Daniel Lanois, and Neil Young did jazz, it might sound a bit like this. Having toured widely across Norway, Denmark, England, and Scotland, AADAL has built a reputation for live shows that blend atmosphere, warmth, and quiet intensity. This concert offers UK audiences a first chance to hear their evocative new material in full.Read more
About Chalk Farm
Chalk Farm is an area of north London. It lies directly to the north of Camden Town and its underground station is the closest tube station to the nearby, upmarket neighbourhood of Primrose Hill. Its name, deceptively rural, derives from the Anglo Saxon Old English language for 'cold cottages'. These days it absorbs the spread from Camden Town and has many lively pubs, live music venues, and restaurants. Within London it is best known as the site of The Roundhouse, a former circular railway engine shed which was subsequently converted for arts and performance use.
