There are hundreds of stalls scattered over quite a wide area.......though I think they may have a few central suppliers.....as many of them were selling the same stuff.
My favourite part was the underground Horse Tunnel market which was full of stalls selling vintage items......though it always makes me feel ancient to see items I've once used classed as 'vintage'!!
We had a look round the shops.....loved the 3D shoes advertising......but most of the stuff is geared at those much younger than us!!
Before returning to Little Venice on the waterbus.......pausing to look in the 'water bookshop' as we returned to the hotel.
We certainly didn't decide to snack at the hotel....we could have had a whole meal in Camden for the price of a bag of M&Ms!!! A drink in a local pub seemed a far better option.
And as we returned to the hotel from the pub we played 'spot the porsche'.......I've never seen so many expensive cars parked in one street before......5 porsches,2 mercedes,3 jaguars......and a host of others.......according to my London based brother a house in this area can cost up to 3 million pounds....no problem affording a porsche then!!
Monday was spent with said brother......which was a wonderful way to end our little break.

sounds like a really great trip Jackie... hotels can be sooooo expensive for the simple things like a bag of sweets or a packet of crisps!
What a wonderful place Camden Market looks but I cannot believe the prices the hotel was charging for snacks!
Sounds like a fun day. I enjoyed seeing your photos and agree that seeing items I once used & enjoyed labeled "vintage" makes me a little ancient!
Jacky, these are great shots, you always take very good 'tourist' shots ... lots of detail and interest.
Your square arrived today - it's fabulous! TSYO is fascinated by all the elements and she thinks it 'goes' perfectly with all the others! I am impressed with how each segment is on the angle :)
Camden Market---one more thing to add to my "must see while in London" file. It sounds like something I would really enjoy. When we were in London a few years ago, we went to some street market that was only open on weekends---people with tables all along the sidewalk. Very interesting.
I've always loved markets like these. One of your shots reminded me of some of the streets in Istanbul. I could have spent hours looking at all the little shops.
Great photos - a vicarious trip for me round a market I would love to see IRL
We always love to eat in Camden Market.
We are never disappointed.
Great photos of your visit x
A great selection of shots. I can't believe the price of the M&Ms! Daylight robbery!
I've never visited Camden Market Jacky but it has to go on my 'to do' list!...lovely pics...
Happy Tuesday!

I visited Camden when I was in London a few years ago and loved it - you describe it so well, it really is just buzzing with life and sounds and smells and excitement! X
Sounds like you have a perfect time x
Thanks for taking us along with you to London! I enjoyed the visit. The weather looks surprisingly good.

What a brilliant weekend - never even knew London had a "Venice" area, though I did visit Camden 35 years ago! WOW at the snack prices though ... you'd have to be mad to pay that!!!
