Item 3: Camden Market - To Market, To Market

Location: Camden Markets, London

The Great Britain Lonely Planet states "London has more than 350 markets". At the top of my "List of Markets" to see was Camden Market.

Arriving at Camden Town by bus, tube or Silverlink, there is a sudden confusion as to which part actually constitutes the "market". Navigating our way, our first stop was Camden Lock Market to look at the gifts, jewellery and homewares alongside the standard imports from India and China that come as standard in many markets today. To refuel, the choice of international cuisine on offer was quality and came with a festival feel, rather than the food court ambiance that we later found at the neighbouring markets.

After a decent browse in the flagship Cyberdog store, for techno-funk fluro-coloured Lycra wear on top of some heavy beats, we seamlessly made our way from the Lock market to the Camden Stables, a former horse hospital that now houses antiques.

Third stop was the Canal Market, a much subdued smaller market to precede the experience up Camden High Street. The street on weekends is bustling with people, Punk Vs Tourist. The face of the buildings are reminicient of days when Doc Martens were the "in" thing and punks walked the streets with an aura of cool. How do they get their hair to stand up so spikey?
