Camden Lock

About Camden Lock

Camden Lock is one of London’s most vibrant shopping and entertainment areas. And with live music and comedy venues, café’s and bars it’s a brilliant place to meet up with some of the city’s most creative people. The Lock is the original ‘Camden Market’, opened in 1973 as a collection of artisan workshops. Clustered in and around the award-winning Market Hall, you’ll find small shops and market stalls selling everything from vintage fashion, handmade jewellery and beautiful homewares sourced from around the globe. It’s also a great place to spot new young designers. Delicious food; from stacks of vegetarian goodies to hearty steaks and the waft of heady spices, there's a global kitchen on offer. You can arrive by Waterbus on the canal from Maida Vale or London Zoo right into the heart of the market. Open seven days a week, (just closed on Christmas Day), and close to the Eurostar terminal at Kings Cross, the nearest tube stations are Camden Town and Chalk Farm (on the Northern Line).
