Camden Beach

The beach is back in Town and it will remain open for at least another month. Only if the sun would hang in for a bit longer the summer will actually be perfect. So to all beach lovers I recommend a visit to the top of the Roundhouse, between Camden Town and Chalk Farm, where they have created one more year an alternative urban beach.

Getting in is free and the beach is open every day of the week except for Mondays. There are 2 bars outside where pitchers and beers flow non-stop, a big bbq ongoing all day - although they stop getting orders between 2.30pm and 5pm - and an ice cream shop also selling candy floss. So you can actually feel that you are on the beach just walking distance from Camden Town. Even if there is no sea or pool, being in London you have a big chance that the sky will provide the water flow.

They also offer the possibility to rent a hut for the day - there are 3 -, which is cool if you have a reason for celebrating or just want to hung out with your friends. If you have booked a hut, you don't have to queue outside - it gets busy in the afternoon especially on weekends - you get bbq food, drinks - beers, prosecco and soft drinks - and a mixture of popcorn, candy floss and ice cream of your choice. It is not cheap but after a 2-day hen party, having a food and drinks ongoing, a roof to hide from the rain or intense sun was just priceless.
