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

Northbound the next stations are Chalk Farm and Kentish town, southbound they are Mornington Crescent, and Euston. The station is in London Underground zone 2.

London Underground are currently in the process of applying for planning permission to demolish the old station and replace it with a modern building. The plans include demolishing Buck Street Market, commonly known as Camden Market, the Electric Ballroom and several houses and shops.

In 2003 the station was the site of a derailment, which caused damage severe enough that it was closed, even for through traffic for over a week, and trains no longer interchange between the branches at it.
