London Shopping: Camden Town
Camden Town is one of London's most popular tourist attractions, with its diverse shopping and innovative street fashions. Watch our guide to Camden's shops and markets.
Step 1: Where is it?
Camden Town is situated just North of Regent's Park and Euston Station, and is served by the Northern Line of the London Underground. The shopping area stretches from
the tube station, along Camden High Street, and towards Camden Lock. Camden Market is the first market you come to, but it's worth travelling North along the High Street to see Camden Lock market overlooking Regent's Canal.
Step 2: What's there?
Camden Market sells a vibrant combination of young designers' fashion, second-hand clothes and music, and fake brands. While it's cheap it's not always good quality. Going North you will reach Camden Lock market, which has stalls selling ethnic home-ware, art and antiques, and has pretty views of Regent's Canal.
Further North is the Stables area which has some of Camden's best shops, selling vintage clothing and shoes, as well as more permanent stalls and food huts. The ‘Horse Hospital' part of the Stables is worth discovering for its antiques and contemporary designer furniture. For more information visit www.camdenmarkets.org
Step 3: What people say about the market?
It is a big variety to choose from. It is very chilled out atmosphere and lots of friendly people.
