Camden is a viable option for LSE postgraduate students who prioritise lifestyle over commute time. The Northern line from Camden Town reaches Holborn in around 15 minutes (4 stops), from where it is a 5-minute walk to LSE's Houghton Street campus. The total commute is typically 28–35 minutes. Camden's rents are higher than comparable Zone 2 areas like Finsbury Park or Hackney, but the area's unique character and strong social scene make it popular with LSE students on programmes like MSc International Relations or MSc Development Studies who are drawn to London's cultural life.
