Questions people ask
Is Camden safe?
Police recorded about 173 crimes for every 1,000 residents in the 12 months to August 2026, higher than London as a whole (98.1). Figures run high in busy centres where few people live, and they can't tell you how one street feels, so visit at different times of day.
How much do homes cost in Camden?
Homes sold for a typical £10,240 per m² in the year to August 2026, higher than London as a whole (£6,380 per m²). At that rate a 70 m² two-bedroom flat would cost roughly £715,000. This is a rough guide, not a valuation.
How many schools are there in Camden?
There are 38 state primary and 10 state secondary schools inside Camden's boundary. Living nearby doesn't guarantee a place, so check each school's admissions rules.
Is Camden a deprived area?
22% of Camden's 130 neighbourhoods are among the most deprived fifth in England, and 11% among the least deprived fifth, on the official Index of Multiple Deprivation. It combines income, jobs, health, education, crime, housing and living environment.
