Camden Town tube station is a major change over for the two branches of the Northern Line, and the busiest station on the entire London Underground. The station gets particularly busy at the weekend with tourists visting Camden Market and Camden High Street; to prevent overcrowding on the platforms, entry to the station from the street is restricted on Sunday afternoons.
