Review Camden Town’s $5.99 self-guided audio walk, with food stops, Camden Lock, the Roundhouse, and Primrose Hill.

Was located in the market but the app made me walk all the way out to start the tour, before making me walk all the way back again. I skipped forward on the tour and the main focus appeared to be about different food stops, so I stopped the tour.”
