Alternative London: Photos of Camden High Street
Alternative London: Camden High Street, a set on Flickr.
This is the 38th set of photos in my ongoing project to photograph the whole of London by bike, and follows on from the previous set, recording a journey from Tottenham Court Road and up Hampstead Road to Mornington Crescent on September 3, 2012.
