Part of what makes Camden Market so special is the wide variety of food on offer. There are countless highlights to discover, but one unmissable destination is Lockside Camden. This industrial-chic canalside bar has a good line-up of burgers and beers to feast upon. Plus, there's regular live DJ sets and music events that provide an authentic London nightlife experience.
London is teeming with innovative vegan cuisine, but many of the city's best plant-based restaurants are found at Camden Market.

Meanwhile, Camden Coffee and Pamban are must-visits for those who love high-end coffee.
For Camden Market's best shopping, there are hundreds of stalls to visit. However, one of the most unique stores is The Baggage Room, showcasing a worldly range of knick-knacks, antique cameras and expertly restored antique luggage.

Good to know about Camden Market
As one of London's most famous weekend landmarks, it's no surprise that Camden Market gets rather crowded. As most stalls open early in the morning and shut late at night, avoid the rush periods and ensure your visit is a relaxing one.
With London's famous underground tube network making it easy to scoot all over town, getting to Camden Market is straightforward via train. Ride the Northern Line to Camden Town or Chalk Farm underground stations and you'll be within walking distance of all the highlights.
