I'm about to start my degree at the London Met, and have been seriously considering getting/trying for a part time job in Camden which is literally 10 minutes away from uni.
I was on the bus in hackney today, when this old lady next to me was like 'ooh no, you don't wanna work at camden, it's scary - lot's of drug dealers - very scary, dangerous'
I'm now *slightly* put off by this old biddy..
Is Camden really that dangerous to work in dya think?

As has already been said I would think working in Camden is the same as working in any part of London, as long as your are sensible about things and remain saftey conscious you should be fine.
Just remember to keep valuables tucked away and try not to walk about by yourself after dark. My ex worked in camden, and I never had any trouble meeting him after TheSite hours there. But I do have masses of common sense and knowledge on personal safety :P
If you are working late and don't live a zillion miles away you may well find you can persuade your boss to cough up for a cab to share with co-workers at the end of a shift.
Good luck finding some work... don't limit yourself to camden either, you'll find there are other pockets of london that fit your 'scene' too, and maybe closer to your accomodation/ more to your liking etc.

Having said that though I think there are very few places which are 'dangerous' in London at all.
