Plus: the story behind Violet Tipton, Kentish Town's least known celebrity, six new 2025 openings and relaunches, the Kentish Town Panorama, Panadera closes and a history of Prince Of Wales Baths
Just a note. It was The Worlds End that was the Mother Red Cap pub. Not the Camden Eye. Which was called The Halfway House.
Also. I learned to swim at Prince of Wales baths. And we went once a week, with my Mum to the laundry. The highlight of which, was the physical fights over the massive dryers. We also found that we could get out of the windows in the loos upstairs, to get onto the roof and look down into the pool and changing rooms, which was made us giggle. I was about 7/8 years old then. I'm now 66 and was born in my Nans house on Gaisford Street.
