Camden Market Reviews

Rated 4.6 out of 5 Star Rating

5 Star Rating You have to go here if you’re looking for inexpensive souvenirs. There are so many cool gifts to find here, and it was honestly the most affordable place I came across for that. There are also plenty of places to eat and shops that cater to all kinds of tastes. Of course, the place is a bit odd and rocky, if you know what I mean. There are all types of characters in that area, for sure. It definitely has a vibe. The stars on the ground are cool, felt like the Hollywood of London. I took photos of the ones I liked, but there are many more, and it’s really fun that they’re doing that. Nice, cool area, fun to walk around. But be careful, there are some fishy people, especially near the Tube station. It’s a great place to find deals, no doubt. I spent about 2 hours there, but if you’re planning to eat or explore more deeply, you can easily spend up to 4 hours. It’s the Hollywood of London for sure, and it smells like it too, just FYI.

5 Star Rating Camden Market in London is an absolute gem, and our visit there was nothing short of amazing. From the moment we arrived, we were drawn in by the buzzing atmosphere, colorful stalls, and the mouthwatering aromas wafting through the air. Yes, it was busy — very busy, in fact — but that only added to the charm and energy of the place. My family and I spent hours exploring the eclectic mix of shops selling everything from handmade crafts and vintage clothes to quirky art and collectibles. Every corner seemed to have a surprise, and the variety was incredible. Even our teenagers were fully engaged, which says a lot! One of the highlights of our visit was definitely the food. Camden Market is a paradise for food lovers. We did have to queue quite a while at Funky Chips — the wait was long, but in the end, totally worth it. The loaded chips were crispy, indulgent, and full of flavor, making them the perfect comfort snack to keep us going. But the standout for me was the Katti Roll I had — honestly, it was the best I’ve had in years. Perfectly spiced, wrapped in a warm paratha, and bursting with flavor, it was one of those rare street food moments that you remember long after. My partner raved about the slow-cooked Briquette burger — juicy, smoky, and rich, it was cooked to perfection and easily one of the best burgers we’ve had in London. Despite the crowds, the staff at most of the stalls were friendly and efficient, and there were plenty of places to sit and enjoy your food. Camden Market is a full sensory experience, and I can't recommend it enough. We’ll definitely be returning!

5 Star Rating One of the best markets in London, don’t get me wrong I think it use to be better but it’s still a 10 out of 10 market. Loads of vibrant unique shops, some great food spots which hit the mark like no other in London and probably best of all unlike some places they give out a lot of the market food vendors free samples as it should be. I love the bang bang chicken food samples you get, you could literally make a meal out of that alone if you went around enough really. But they have amazing stores throughout and place is very picturesque perfect place for some great quality photos. Have you really visited London if you haven’t visited Camden? That’s the question? I think not! I’ve been as I said going there for years, since I was a kid 5-6 years old and ultimately would recommend it to all the people from all across the world more local and more further afield.

5 Star Rating Absolutely loved the vibrant atmosphere of Camden Market! So many unique stalls selling everything from vintage clothes to handmade art. The food options are incredible—tons of global street food to try. It does get pretty crowded, especially on weekends, but that just adds to the lively vibe. A must-visit for anyone exploring London!

4 Star Rating Endless amount of food stalls and unique stores. When we arrived by the train in the evening , I was little scared since the area was different from where I stayed. However we enjoyed walking around the area and had fun at the local bar where there was a live band playing. Buildings and landscape were beautiful and many shops carry eclectic and unique items. My teenage daughter loved Camden Market.
