Camden Market is one of London’s most famous shopping attractions, drawing around 500,000 visitors it is one of the most lively London attractions with all kinds of colourful characters, both selling and shopping.

 

The ‘market’ is actually a collection of individual markets that are colloquially bracketed together as one, including Camden Stables Market, Camden Lock Market and Inverness Street Market.

 

The markets are open seven days per week, and as a whole are far busier at the weekends.

 

Camden Town shares with East London's Brick Lane a reputation as London’s most bohemian, counter-cultural area with a rich history of alternative/indie music, radical politics and alternative lifestyles.

 

This is reflected by the awesome range of alternative clothing available at Camden Market, which draws in fans of indie, punk and other alternative music styles from across the UK.

 

Fans of such music will love visiting Camden’s iconic Good Mixer pub, The Barfly, The Underworld and The Roundhouse (all of which are associated with the Blur-Oasis-and-Pulp days of the mid-1990s Britpop scene)

 

London’s reputation as the world’s most multi-cultural city is well evidenced at Camden Market. A delicious range of world food can be bought here, from Morrocan to Thai to Turkish.

 

The market is also famous for its weird-and-wonderful antiques and decorative pieces available. Also you can check out some home furnishings, which offer a strong contrast from the average British highstreet stuff.
