About Clarence Way Estate

A low-rise residential housing estate nestled in Kentish Town just east of Camden Town. Featuring brick blocks and communal courtyards, the area has a tranquil, community-oriented atmosphere set slightly back from the lively buzz of Camden Market and Chalk Farm.

Watch out for

• Phone-snatching by riders on e-bikes and mopeds occurs on nearby thoroughfares such as Chalk Farm Road and Camden High Street, especially during evening hours.
• Internal estate walkways and alleys can become poorly lit and deserted late at night, making it advisable to stick to well-lit main streets when returning after dark.
