Marknaden i Camden, London, besöks enligt Wikipedia av närmare 100 000 varje helg. Här finns något för alla, och vill du se verkligen precis alla sorters människor är det hit du ska åka. Vi råkade bland annat på ett glatt sällskap av äldre kvinnor i röda hattar…the British Red Hatters (se länk längre ned på sidan).
Detta område vid Regents Canal består, förutom av slussen (Camden Lock), mest av affärer och en stor utemarknad med allt mellan himmel och jord – att titta på eller köpa. Många av stånden erbjuder mat och den är både god och billig – vi köpte några olika, mycket goda Yorkshire puddings till lunch.
Marknaden var från början till för bara hantverkare, men har på senare år vuxit ut till att innehålla kläder, prylar och krims krams samt, som sagt, god mat.
The Camden markets are a number of adjoining large retail markets in Camden Town near the Hampstead Road Lock of the Regent’s Canal (popularly referred to as Camden Lock), often collectively named ”Camden Market” or ”Camden Lock”. Among products sold on the stalls are crafts, clothing, bric-a-brac, and fast food. According to Wikipedia it is the fourth-most popular visitor attraction in London, attracting approximately 100,000 people each weekend. If you want to meet all sorts of people, this is the place to go. We even met some absolutely wonderful ladies in red hats, members of the British Red Hatters…
Originally, the Lock was a market for crafts, occupying some outdoor areas by the canal and various existing buildings. While the range of goods has since widened, with stalls selling books, new and second-hand clothing, and jewellery, the Lock retains its focus as the principle Camden market for crafts. There is a large selection of fast food stalls, where we bought some really tasty yourkshire puddings..
From 2006 a large indoor market hall was constructed in a yard between the Camden Lock Market and the Stables Market that was previously used for open air stalls. In November 2007 a large part of the Stables Market was demolished as part of a long-term redevelopment plan for the area and rebuilt as a year-round permanent market area.
