Way up on Finchley Road, Camden Art Centre has been quietly ploughing its own artistic furrow since 1965 (it was Hampstead Central Library before that). Go for free contemporary art exhibitions by the likes of Richard Wright, Lonnie Holley and Duane Linklater, with late opening hours on Thursday making an after work trip entirely possible. Or check out the line-up of workshops and events where you can learn skills like making dyes, or attend book launches by local writers. Camden also boasts a great bookshop, a lovely garden and an ace café.
