Camden Market: A Journey Through Time and Culture • Section 1 of 5

Welcome to Camden Market at Camden Lock Place, a place where history and rebellion seem to seep from the very bricks. You are standing in what is now one of the most popular visitor attractions in the city of London, drawing in approximately two hundred and fifty thousand people every single week. It is hard to imagine that this massive complex, bustling with over one thousand places to shop, eat, and dance, started with a very humble beginning. On March thirtieth, nineteen seventy-four, this area was just a ramshackle collection of sixteen small craft stalls in an old timber yard. Today, it is a labyrinth of creativity that remains legendary for its barges, bars, and irrepressible energy. As you begin your walk, take a deep breath and listen for the echoes of the market's changing faces—from a nineteenth-century industrial engine room to a modern global destination for seekers of the unique and the alternative.
