Camden Market spreads across several sites around Camden Lock and Chalk Farm Road, including the Stables Market and Camden Lock Place, with hundreds of independent shops and food stalls. It is busy all week and liveliest at weekends. Camden Town and Chalk Farm stations are a few minutes’ walk away. Come on a weekday morning for a calmer visit, and combine it with a walk along the Regent’s Canal towards Little Venice or King’s Cross.
