Buskers, Street Entertainers

• Camden has been excreted out for the 21st century as some nauseatingly trendy place for rich arrogant yuppie gits who work for MTV and the music industry. I thought the faux-suicidal stoned teenagers were bad enough but all these twenty something strokes fans with tight tshirts and asymmetrical haircuts costing over 50 quid really are making me wish the whole place was bombed back into the stone age. Go back to primrose hill you rich bastards.
• Random Hare Krishna guy who keeps asking me if my glasses were paid for by the NHS every time I go to Camden.
• i want to say support john coley the handicapped busker hes a lovely guy give him all your change say hi to him chat to him i havent known him long but hes really nice by philomena mctigue
• The funny little men selling little bags of sugar and washing up powder and bars of brown plastic on the high street... highly amusing...
• Camden! Just go and look around you- if you can't be entertained walking around Camden then you're both blind and deaf.
• visit the handicapped guy who busks in the market...and save your pennies to give to him!
• There's a girl that does great juggling outside Gateways, look out for her in her army fatigues
• The bums are everywhere and quite scary.

The Knowhere Guide started out as a list of places to skateboard in the UK. It is a compilation of (unedited) information and views supplied by users like yourself. It is not a conventional tourist guide!

In most cases, the information in each section has been submitted by more than one contributor (the credits at the bottom of the page list some, but not all, of the contributors) and some of it dates back to the 1970s.

We make no claims as to the accuracy of the information in the Guide - our only purpose is to provide a forum for users to share their knowledge and opinions. So please keep a large bag of salt handy and be prepared to read between the lines!

If you disagree with a comment, or information is out of date, please submit an update! The contributors come from all walks of life, and their opinions are bound to be subjective, so if your view isn't represented, please speak up and contribute to the balance of the Guide. See below in the 'Have Your Say' section for how to add your voice.

If we have helped you out or made you laugh you can buy us a pint.

Have Your Say...

You can tell us more about Camden. This is also the method to use if you want to correct some of the information already here. (But please remember you're not mailing the person who actually wrote whatever-it-is.)

You can use the add an event form to tell us about events happening in Camden.

Or, if you'd just like to leave a message for other users of this site, take a look at The Knowhere Board (handy if you're just trying to get in touch with someone).
