Thinking of relocating within London? Here are 4 reasons why Camden still stands out
Are you planning to relocate within London? Or looking to escape the suburbs without losing green spaces, commuting convenience, or the numerous cultural benefits of a world-class city? Then consider Camden – which continues to be one of the capital’s most sought-after (and very trendy) boroughs. From its rich music scene to excellent connectivity and evolving housing options, living here provides a rare mix of London energy and local charm. Read on to discover just a few of the many reasons why Camden is a top pick for home-hunters in 2025.
Camden’s evolving property market: New builds and historic gems
Camden’s property market remains robust, with average home prices reaching £872,000 in May 2025. If you’re an investor, you’ll appreciate that rental costs have been climbing by over 10% year-on-year. And new developments are creating modern opportunities – with new build homes like those at Verdica and Camden Goods Yard drawing in homebuyers with their stylish design, energy efficiency, and proximity to key city amenities. The best part? You’ll get all of this within a vibrant, historic neighbourhood.
Live music, art, markets: Camden’s creative heart
And, of course, Camden is practically synonymous with creativity and hustle. From iconic venues like the Roundhouse and Jazz Café to the hustle of Camden Market and unique selection of global street food, the area is renowned for attracting artists, performers, and makers of all kinds. It really is a place where young professionals, families, and creatives can all find something to love.
Get around fast: Camden’s unbeatable transport links
With access to the Northern, Victoria, and Piccadilly lines (not to mention three major rail stations) you can take advantage of fast commutes across the city – whether to work, shopping, or a day of sightseeing with guests. From Camden Town tube, it’s just 7 minutes to King’s Cross and under 15 to Oxford Circus.
Parks and canals: Nature meets city in Camden
Despite its urban setting, Camden is also known for its rich green spaces. If you live there, you can easily walk to Hampstead Heath, Regent’s Park, and the Regent’s Canal – plus, some of London’s prettiest streets happen to be in Camden (check out the gorgeous pastel-hued houses of Hartland Road, for example). And in your homebuying considerations, take into account future initiatives like the Camden Highline (an elevated park in progress) which promise to boost local greenery and walkability even further.
