“Much more than a market”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 May 2012

person found this review helpful

I went here expecting a market. True there is one, and then another and another and so on. The whole area is markets and shops all mingled together into one big magnetic shopping experience. It is hard to come away without buying anything. Also there are plenty of different food stalls with cuisine from all over the world. We were... More

“Funky for all the senses. Vibrant, colorful, entertaining, tasty and aromatic.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 May 2012

My words will not do this justice, we bumped into this place by accident, although knowing it existed which meant we had no expectations but loved it. Get lost on the streets, look at the history and at the crafts. Open your sensors and enjoy the smells. We were only there for an hour, give yourself plenty of time to... More

“Bigger than Dubai Souks, cheaper than Turkish bizarres, great handmade variety”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 May 2012

We didn't experience much haggling, if they offered a cheaper price, you took it. Mainly clothing fashion orientated products, jewellery, art and home ware produce also made many appearances on the maze of stalls. The variety of the cuisines on offer were particularly inciting, in fact, if partially put us off our appetite as we wanted something substantial. Recommended as... More

“Not to be missed!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 May 2012

I've been to Camden again and again , yet I really enjoy returning.You could visit it on a Sunday morning at its best unless you hate crowds.It's a flea market where you can shop for bargains or unusual items. Mostly enjoyed by young people or those who feel young! It will be appreciated by teenagers too! More

“Best market ever...”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 May 2012

Been here twice...it is huge...indoor & outdoor. Lots of different kinds of stalls, I discovered a souvineer shop that had a huge selection & excellent prices (just wished I knew about it before I had already bought items downtown). Lots of different kinds of ethnic food stalls to pick from. For us picture takers, Regent's Canal runs through Camden, and... More
