Thanks for this Gary.

I was born and brought up in Islington and still live in London but now in the East.

There was, and is, no better place on earth imho.

Hi Gary - yes thanks for letting us know about the documentary. I've also watched the first part and am from the area originally too - I remember walking past the stables on the way to Camden Town regularly as a child with mum when we went shopping.

The OH would know Church Street Market - she's from that neck of the woods (we went to Queen's Crescent market ourselves).

I must look at the other parts to see if I recognise anything else.

Just watched a wonderful documenrty made in 1967 about the then disappearing London, Its not about the swining sixties everyone knows, its more Victorian than you could imagine, its on you tube in 5 parts the first part brought back childhood memories as its about Camden Town ( I grew up in Camden). Its a fantastic social commenrty. Part 4 almost had me in tears. Everybody should watch it wether your from London or not, the same things were going on all over the country. its called
The London Nobody Knows- with James Mason
