From GOV.UK’s “Understand how your council works”: here one council runs every main service.

All of Camden is unparished: there is no parish or town council, so the council runs local matters itself and no parish precept is added to the bill.

Councils from ONS lookups (wards and councils May 2026, parishes 2025), names and websites from GOV.UK’s local council finder; parish councils from MHCLG’s 2026–27 list of precepting parishes.
