Camden Market is a bohemian labyrinth of shops and food vendors. It's overwhelming but such a fun experience to take in. Here you will fun underground fashions, accessories, art, antiques, records and even an impressive display of hookahs. You can get cuisine from China, Japan, Vietnam, Greek, Italian...you name it. The onloy thing this place didn't seem to have was electronics. You could really wander around here for hours and the shop owners weren't aggressive at all. It almost feels like a scene out of BladeRunner.

What to buy: Too wide a variety of things available narrow it down!

What to pay: Varies, but it's not a high priced area.

The huge Camden Markets are a free form chaos. They get so crowded on the weekends that you will think that you are in The Third World.

The markets include:

The Camden Canal Market where you will find bric-a-brac, furniture and designer clothes.

TheCamden Market you will find leather good and army surplus gear.

The Electric Market you will find records and 1960's clothing.

What to pay: Bargain in all of these markets

What can i say about Camden Market well is my favourite market in London, here i find all that i want it, leather, costume jewellery, clothes, shoes, etc with incredibles prices. There are lots of places to make your shoppings.

Que puedo decir de Camden Market simplemente que es mi mercadillo favorito en Londres, aquí encuentro todo lo que quiero, cosas de piel, bisutería, ropa, zapatos, etc a precios increibles. Hay un montón de puestos y tiendas donde elegir.

Dr Martens is known all over the World as the boot worn by all sorts of alternative people but also by the London police force and many many others. Personally, I love them once the first few weeks' pain has given way to that special Doc M feel when the boot fits perfectly :) London is of course the place to buy them as here they come in all sorts of colours and patterns and not just the classic grey and burgundy. Union Jack, purple, flowers...you name it. If you are already a DM owner, this is also the place where you can buy those spare laces that your shoe shop at home won't stock.

Camden town in whole is a market area with lots too see and even smell.. You can make interesting findings or just experience the unique atmosphere. People there are also quite colourful. I think the market area is on its best on sundays.

What to buy: Clothes, used clothes, shoes, decoration, strange stuff

What to pay: Prize level is much cheaper than in downtown

it's just a place worth to see if not to shop. very colourful, very different, loads of stuff from the Middle East and the Far East. I always shop there. Many unique things

What to buy: colourful beddings and other materials, souvenirs, clothes

What to pay: try and bargain. sometimes it works. also depends on a shopper, probably about £100-£200

It's probably not the best market in London, but still, many people (including me !) go there.

When you get out of the tube at "Camdem Town" Station you will find the first market called " Camdem Market". It is the worst part of it, mainly with stalls that sell all the same kind of ugly clothes...

Then if you walk a bit more there is the "Camdem Canal Market" which is already a little better. There is good poster shop and various gothic or other bizzare clothing stores.

If you continue on the street, you will arrive to the "Camdem Lock Market". It is a covered market and best part of it. You will find different crafts, vintage clothing, some antiques... and also various food options.

Camden is a great vibrant area of London and has four main markets. They cater for those individuals who do not want to buy from the big retail chains, and particularly for those whose idea of fasion is individuality.
