Camden Market and Lock

  A truly interesting place for the weird and wonderful and i can see why people flock to the place in their droves.

 It was also one of the last places i visited before heading to New Zealand over 10 years ago and i believe there may be a photo of me trying on a kilt.

Shops full of clothing and foot wear to off beat items and some interesting street entertainment and art.

Opened in 1974 with 14 stalls as a diverse community of food and sellers of creative objects  and all within the area of the Regent Canal where if you are lucky you will catch a canal boat going through the lock and under the high street.

 If not too busy grab something to eat and drink at one of the many places in the area.  Weekends can are are a busy time so beware if you have small children or prams

Compact in size it easy not to get lost and all within easy reach of the London Underground Via the Northern Line to Chalk Farm or Camden Town or the London Overground.

 If you have a interest in old sewing machines there is a shop with windows displaying loads of them.
