Guide: Camden Dorms for Market and Gig Nights

Camden's hostel field is smaller than the nightlife map suggests, especially with Selina gone. St Christopher's and Smart Camden are the two proper local dorm choices; Generator and Clink261 are King's Cross backups that still keep Camden close on the Northern line or a short ride. Use this for market days and gigs when the budget option needs to survive the journey home.
