Details of the collections held by the Camden Local Studies and Archives Centre.

The Charles Dickens Museum in London is the world's most important collection of material relating to the great Victorian novelist and social commentator. The only surviving London home of Dickens (from 1837 until 1839) was opened as a Museum in 1925 and is still welcoming visitors from all over the world in an authentic and inspiring surrounding. On four floors, visitors can see paintings, rare editions, manuscripts, original furniture and many items relating to the life of one of the most popular and beloved personalities of the Victorian age.

Ciao Bella brings you a true Mediterranean atmosphere great for parties or a meal out with family or friends. Situated over two floors, you can dine in a bright and buzzy ground floor, or dine at the comfy and relaxed basement restaurant. We are most often fully booked and highly recommend advanced bookings to avoid disappointment.

Designing and building bicycles specific to customer's needs is what has now been happening at Condor Cycles for sixty years.

We aim to provide everything cycle ownership entails from advice on fames and componants to fixing a puncture while you wait on a Monday morning.

The Egypt Exploration Society is the leading UK organisation carrying out archaeological fieldwork and research in Egypt today. The Society's current research strategy focuses on landscape development, environmental change and human interaction in the Nile Delta and Valley, including the Sudan. The current fieldwork projects range from excavation at major Delta sites and surveying the ancient capital of Memphis, to mapping the changing river course at ancient Thebes. The Society works closely with the Egyptian Ministry of Antiquities and is currently engaging with international partners to support and fund excavations and surveys at many other sites. The EES is headed by a President and several Vice-Presidents and is governed by a Board of Trustees which includes the three Officers of the Society: the Chair, Vice-Chair and Treasurer. The Society's registered address is 3 Doughty Mews, London WC1N 2PG although we actually own three adjoining Mews properties - 2-4 Doughty Mews. The premises house the Society's Offices, Library and Archive and are manned by three permanent staff. We also have small office in Cairo housed on the premises of the British Council and staffed by the Society's Cairo Representative.

So whats Folk and Shofolk all about?

Folk is a casual menswear brand born in 2001 in London, Shofolk, the sister (and brother) footwear collection for men and women, followed in 2004.

Folk's about making clean, honest understated garments with a meticulous eye for colour, fabric selection and design detail. We create simple everday clothing with subtle, innovative and sometimes playful detailing.

Shofolk is designed by the same team and has the same ethos combining distinctive shapes with natural leathers to create functional yet stylish footwear. Production is limited to keep the quality levels high with a nice by product that their owners are unlikely to bump into someone wearing the same pair.

Inspirations cant be nailed down to specifics, ideas come from all over but mainly from what we see and hear each day in London. Shapes, colours and textures play a big part in what we do.

St George's Gardens, a central London garden and burial ground now almost 300 years old. Used every week by hundreds of people living or working in the St Pancras area the Gardens contain the tomb of Oliver Cromwell's grand daughter, Anna Gibson. They are also a reminder of the dark history of body-snatching - the first recorded case took place here.
