Camden Market is one of London's best-known spots for picking up affordable art, but "posters in Camden" actually covers a few genuinely different kinds of shop — and they're not interchangeable. We've put together this guide comparing the main poster and print stops in and around Camden Lock, so you know exactly where to head depending on what you're after.
The Shortlist
98 Types Studio
The most comprehensive poster selection in Camden Market, covering movie posters, song lyric prints, TV series art, anime, sports and personalised city maps — over 2,000 designs in total between the stall and the full online catalogue. Prices start from £3, with a buy-3-get-1-free offer that applies both in-store and online. It's also one of the few stalls offering genuine personalisation: custom film posters, bespoke song lyric prints and made-to-order map prints.
Best for: budget-friendly variety, gifts, personalised printsThe 43 — Pop Culture Prints
A genuinely distinctive offering — illustrated artwork built onto dictionary pages and sheet music, featuring everyone from David Bowie to The Beatles to Alice in Wonderland, alongside film and pop culture pieces. If you want something more artistic and less "straight poster," this is the standout in Camden Market.
Best for: unique gifts, music and literature fans, statement piecesForbidden Planet Camden
Formerly the much-loved Mega City Comics, now part of the Forbidden Planet chain. This is primarily a comic book, graphic novel and manga store with a large collectibles and figure range — posters and prints are part of the mix, but it's not a dedicated poster shop in the way the other entries on this list are. Worth a visit if comics and pop culture merchandise are your main interest.
Best for: comics, manga, figures, collectible cultureCamden Town Poster Company
Specialises in larger format prints, canvases, block-mounted prints and vintage-style posters, including Banksy block mounts and oversized map prints. Worth checking if you're after something bigger than a standard wall print, delivered direct to your door.
Best for: large statement prints, canvases, vintage styleSide-by-Side Comparison
