Gargoyle is a scaremonger - Camden is perfectly safe if you are sensible and don't go flashing cash like a lunatic. Just walk around, mind your own business and don't look like a stuck up social worker and you're fine. Mind you, I think being blonde and female helps!

Walking up the hill to Cecil Sharp House takes you away from the centre of Camden and the 'scary' types that have Gargoyle sweating prefer to stay near the station.

Having said that, don't leave it too late of an evening to catch your train, as the last one leaves earlier than you'd expect.
