Camden Market has more than 1,000 places to shop, eat and drink, so it helps to know what you are looking for. Here is our guide, written from inside the market: we have a poster stall in Market Hall, Lower Floor, Stall 3.
Vintage and alternative fashion
Camden has dressed punks, goths, mods, ravers and indie kids for decades, and fashion is still the heart of the market. Expect second-hand denim and leather jackets, band T-shirts, platform boots, festival wear and one-off pieces by independent designers. The Stables Market is the best area for vintage and alternative fashion, and it is home to Cyberdog, the famous neon rave shop.
Tip: try things on and look carefully at vintage pieces before you buy. Prices vary a lot from stall to stall, so walk around first.
Art, prints and posters
Art is one of the best things to take home from Camden, because it is easy to carry and lasts for years. At 98 Types Studio we design every poster ourselves, and our stall is full of prints you won't find anywhere else:
