Markets in London are mostly open round the week. We have listed some of the most popular London Markets instead of mentioning all of them. These markets are spaced away from each other so no matter which part of London you visit you will be able to see at least one of them. Markets in London mentioned here are for general public and they are not specialised markets. These markets will offer you both amusements and plenty of bargains.  Camden Market
is a large craft and clothing market in Camden Town. It is the fourth most popular visitor attraction in London, attracting approximately 100,000 people each weekend. It began in its present form in 1974 when the Camden Lock crafts market was formed, although the traditional local street market in Inverness Street, which has now been absorbed by Camden Market, existed before that.
Camden Lock Market, by the canal, was the original craft market, established in 1974, but now has a much wider spectrum of goods on sale. Both this and the ever popular Camden Stables Market - centre of the alternative fashion scene, Camden (Buck Street) Market and Inverness Street Market - which thrived on local trade long before tourists discovered Camden, are all open, at least in parts, every day, making the area well worth a mid-week visit. Camden Lock Market formerly occupied by warehouses and other premises connected with the canal. By the early 1970s the canal trade had ceased. At the time there was a proposal to build an urban motorway through the site, which made any major redevelopment impossible, so in 1974 a temporary market was established instead. |
