Top 5 – Shopping in Camden Town

Best Places to Shop in Camden, London

Markets and shopping must be the first thing that comes to mind when you mention Camden Town. The myriad of stalls especially in the Camden Stables Market are famous around the world, many of the Camden shops and boutiques carry on the vintage, retro, edgy, hippy glam character of the Camden borough.

Here are five of our favorite spots in Camden Town. Check them out if you have time.

Camden Market Shops

The obvious place to start is, of course, the Camden market. If it’s alternative, handmade, vintage, retro, funky, or cool that you’re after, then this is the place for you! Established in the eighteenth century with sixteen stalls, the Camden Market has now grown to include thousands of vendors spread over four main areas: Camden Lock Market for clothes, jewellery, gifts and food; Camden Stables Market for vintage clothing and accessories; Camden Lock Village for accessories, fashion, and gifts; and Buck Street Market, although you can probably give this last one a miss. Spend a day meandering and haggling your way through this real-life cave of wonders.

Cyberdog

Cyberdog is the second-most-obvious place to start. When it comes to Camden shops, this famous shop-cum-rave in the Stables Market is a whole experience unto itself, with in-house dancers, electro-house music and flashing neon lights. If you’re comfortable shopping in semi-darkness, it’s the perfect place to buy bright, edgy, space punk-themed outfits which are also outrageously sexy, or simply to wander around admiring this other-worldly local. The bottom floor is especially naughty…
