Camden Market Reviews

Rated 4.6 out of 5 Star Rating

4 Star Rating Went to Camden Market recently, great atmosphere and beautiful food! I recommend The Cheese Wheel for all pasta and cheese lovers, it was gorgeous and I will be going there again as it was the best pasta I’ve ever had! My partner went to the Yorkshire Burrito stall, which he highly recommends and said it was worth the wait. Clearly a very popular place already as it was a 10 minute wait with a line. The mix of shops and food choices far exceed most places and the vibe in the area was nice, the locals were friendly. We went in a pub up the street from the market and that was nice as well. The market had cool stalls for the people that loved t-shirts, gaming merchandise, music shop, clothes with unique styles. I think there are some good deals here, I think people forget that that the people paying councils a fortune to retain their market spot have to earn a living to make it worth while, if rent for these spots were lower then yes it would be cheaper but that’s not the case and prices rise which is reflected in not as good bargains as years ago. Reason I’m giving 4 and not 5 stars is I do think they should invest in more areas to sit in the market, granted they have the pods but a lot of people did sit in them for a long time even when not eating and it felt a lot of people couldn’t find anywhere to sit, me and my partner had to sit on the pavement to eat which isn’t great. The pictures don’t do the food any justice, much tastier than it looks! The light up t shirt place isn’t technically in the market area but it’s only down the road, it’s down in a basement and it’s well worth a visit, I’m assuming you can find it by just looking around or type in Google ‘light up battery operated shirt shop Camden’. I recommend everyone come to Camden at least once if visiting London or on holiday nearby, worth it. The people that worked in the market were mostly friendly people and helpful, we bought a fluffy Pokémon backpack from one stall and he was a nice guy, we haggled and gave a cheaper price.

5 Star Rating It's a very big market with a large number of stalls. There's a wide variety of street food available. Lots of interesting characters and plenty to see. On the down side a lot of the shops are selling the same or similar stuff - t-shirts, costume jewellery, souvenirs, etc. You need to walk around to find different shops. Well worth a visit if you don't mind a bit of walking.

5 Star Rating The overall experience was great. The Market is dynamic, diversified, and offers a wide variety of sights and smells. The food court caters to most dietary preferences, providing a diverse range of selections. The stalls sell a variety of things, and the bulk of the vendors are kind and charming (of course). Public toilets cost £1 and are quite clean, but they do come at a cost. The meal is a touch costly, as are the items for sale. I suppose it's not your regular market, but keep in mind that the things on sale are priced higher than usual. I recommend the market to anyone looking to discover London's more eclectic side, particularly the range of cuisines. Each stand provides something unique, making it an ideal location for anybody wishing to experience new and interesting flavours. Whether you're a local or just visiting, this market is the place to go for a memorable experience.
