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.
