Camden Town is a market feeding thousands of people daily, sitting directly on a canal. Food waste at street level and a continuous waterway running past it is close to ideal for rats, and the lock area sees more rodent activity than anywhere else in the borough. The flats above the shops inherit the problem through shared structure.
