Just off Trafalgar Square, so we take a bus to Camden Town and check out the shops along Camden High Street for future reference. Just our imagination, or is the street becoming slightly seedier? It's never been rich, but there's something a bit depressing about Inverness Street market, where the veg were fresh and the stall owners rough and cheerful in a there-you-go-luv sort of way, being replaced by long queues at Poundland and Lidl, where the prices seem to have risen slightly without the variety or quality of the offerings improving much. So another bus to Kilburn High Road, which still a multicultural energy about it. Once Irish, as the name suggests, it's now a bit of everything, with lots of Middle East and African in the mix, though you can still buy Irish newspapers.
