Camden Market as we know it dates back to the early 70s and has since then attracted large numbers of Londoners and tourists because of the character and quality of the goods on sale and also of the uniqueness of the location. Boat trips and walks along the canal, or just watching the barges pass through the lock gates are still important parts of the attraction of Camden Lock.
Recently the Stables Market has been much extended with a wealth of new traders in the area of the old Catacombs and Arches at the north end. This has made a visit to Camden Market even more fascinating with international traders in well-lit new shop units offering products of an amazing variety.
One shop I would love to recommend to you is Karine’s Kids. Karine makes and sell hand knitted toys, children’s wear and funky t-shirts inspired by her heritage from Scandinavia and in peticular Norway where she’s from.
