Camden Market
Hundreds of stalls of street food, vintage and design across the Lock and Stables markets.
Area guide
Camden runs on noise and canal water. The market spills from Camden Lock down to the High Street with food stalls and vintage rails, and the towpath takes you east to King's Cross or west to Little Venice on foot. The stages here — the Roundhouse, KOKO, the Jazz Café — are the reason people keep coming back.
Highlights
Camden Lock & Regent's Canal
Working lock gates and a towpath walk to King's Cross one way, Little Venice the other.

A Victorian engine shed turned landmark venue on Chalk Farm Road; KOKO and the Jazz Café are minutes away.
