Why we recommend it
Camden Market spreads along the Regent's Canal in north London, combining the original Camden Lock site with the former horse stables and the newer Hawley Wharf development. Expect a mix of independent fashion, vintage, crafts and gifts, plus a huge range of international street food.
The market is open every day, including bank holidays, though individual traders keep their own hours. Weekends are lively and crowded, so a weekday visit makes browsing easier. Eat at the street food stalls around the Lock, then explore the cobbled Stables area. A walk along the canal towpath west towards Little Venice, or a waterbus trip, makes a good way to arrive or leave. Camden Town and Chalk Farm Underground stations are both nearby.
