7 . Camden Market
Whatever your cup of tea is, you’re bound to find something that you’re fond of at the Camden markets. The Camden markets consist of six markets in and around Camden Town, located near Camden Lock. The markets attract 100,000 tourists every weekend.
But believe it or not, the Camden markets are a relatively new addition to London, as the area surrounding Camden Lock was used primarily for agricultural purposes before the 1800s.
Camden Market Highlights
●Out of the six markets, Camden Lock Village is perhaps the most famous. This covered market is fully packed with all sorts of beautiful, handmade items.
●At Camden Lock Market you can find food stalls (货摊) offering food from all over the world, as well as handmade jewelry (珠宝), second-hand clothing, books, and other household items you won’t find anywhere else in the city.
●Check out Inverness Street Market. It may not be as big as the other Camden markets but don’t let that stop you, as here you will find a variety of specialty shops, and countless bars and restaurants.
●Camden High Street is a highly popular shopping area and is packed with independent shops, pubs, and restaurants, many of which feature some interesting designs that are worth taking a photo of. No Camden Town photo collection would be complete without a shot of the large black and orange dragon at Camden High Street.
