Camden Canal Market in London
Camden Market

London’s Camden Markets are a weekend afternoon staple for those that like alternative style.

Big and bustling, the Camden Markets sell everything from goth accessories to emerging designer clothing and ethnic food from all over the world. Visitors can spend hours browsing the wares and stopping for delicious food along the way. To round out the day, there are plenty of bars, restaurants, and cafes along the high street for post-market relaxation and entertainment.

There are several Camden Markets, including the Camden Stables Market, the Camden Lock Market, the Camden Buck Street Market, the Camden Lock Village, the Inverness Street Market, and numerous others crammed into every alley in the area. Each one is unique in its style, but all of them offer similarly funky goods.

The closest tube stations to the Camden Markets are Camden Town and Chalk Farm, which are on the Northern Line. The market stalls are open on weekends from 10:00 to 18:00, although some stay open later in the evening. On weekdays there are fewer stalls open, but the area is less crowded.
