Yep, there’s a late-night juggling subculture of Camden Town. Vimeo user pyrishoya has a lovely little film about it. Juggling, it turns out, is a great way of chilling out. One juggler likens juggling to meditation. These jugglers are no clowns. They are men and women at peace.

As an aside, they seem to include a disproportionate number of computer programmers. I don’t know what that says. One of these programmers says he commutes to work on a unicycle.
