I met many Italians who were good friends in Tent City. I wont forget this guy who showed my a picture of his Moto Guzzi 850 Le Mans and then called his dad just to here the engine run. Ottimo! I was the Philippine guy with the black BMW R/60. I would be glad to hear from anyone who remembers this period . Grazzi tutti

I stayed for about a week in September of 1991. I remember there was a guy with a tiny cafe under the tracks across the street who hated folks from Tent City and had a sign saying they weren't welcome. I went in there for breakfast and he gave me a dirty look. It was a good deal and tasty so the next day I pressed my luck and returned and he shouted "Are you from the camp!" and I sort of sheepishly said, "no, what's that?" He grumpily served me again. I Imagine he was active in the campaign to close the place.

I was in Tent City in 77, 79

I was in Tent City in 77, 79 and 85. I remember the days and the weeks I spent there as something really special, maybe the best time in my life. Tent City was a great place, you could spend your time talking and laughing with everyone, listening someone singing every night. I remember people arriving there from everywhere, happy and smiling faces. I worked in London Linen near there, with other people who stayed in TC. I would like to find some more pictures... at that time, I was traveling without camera... but I keep in my heart Tent City and its people...

I there! I was there 1988

To say that Tent City was

To say that Tent City was great would be an understatement, the place was heaven and that just goes to show how much fun you can have in what was otherwise an absolute dump of an area rife with petty theives and other dodgy people; it was really out of the way too but that may have been to its advantage as you rarely had any locals showing to spoil the party. I was there for two whole summers 1998 and 1999 and I am ashamed to say that I stayed there for free almost the whole time?but did pitch my tent outside the fence a lot when I wasn't in some girl's tent - I wish. But did have some great times with a few girls though and especially enjoyed it under the stars out in the big field - I'm sure some of you will remember Renata from Poland, you know the blonde teacher with glasses (sexy librarian look) with a tiny waist and great hips - I'll leave the rest to your imagination. Enjoyed all the dope smoking too. I still envy Justin for all the girls he used to get off with, especially that young German blonde - you lucky bastard. Still remember some of the unusual chartacters too, Camden Dave, Jo, and some of the weirder things I saw, like a guy of about 35 getting blowed by two under age girls outside one of the big army tents in broad daylight - only in Tent City.I was a wild place and would be happy to stay there again if it hadn't had closed, but these days I am probably passed the phase where I could get away with being such a complete sexed, doped-out bum, but a week or two would be nice. Any other similar places in Europe please recommend.

WHAT? So Tent City is no

WHAT? So Tent City is no more??
What a pity!

I found this page because the chain/necklace around my neck just broke tonight.
...Let me explain!

You see, on my first Inter Rail trip around Europe (starting from Finland) in the early 80's, me and my pal couldn't afford any real hotels or even hostels, so we stayed at Tent City. And what a wonderful time we had, even caught a Rip Rig & Panic gig downtown with a 17-year-old Neneh Cherry fronting them.

Well, as anybody who ever stayed at Tent City can remember, you could leave your belongings at the site for the day in a big army bag that you could lock up with a chain and a small padlock, and just take the key with you for the day's adventures.

But after we left town, I seemed to have forgotten the chain and padlock (totally accidentally, I can assure you) in my rucksack, and only found them back home. I decided to make a "neck chain" out of it -- and have been wearing it for the past 28-29 years non-stop, night and day... (Basically because there's no clasp mechanism, I just needed to "hammer up" the chain tight).

So now that it broke for the first time, I thought of googling up Tent City for the memories -- and THIS is what the world has come to?? No cheap haven for the world's youth to come to in London anymore?
Shame on you, whoever it was that caused this abomination!
