Camden Lock Top 5

Camden’s markets pull in millions of visitors per year. With so many markets and even more stalls, it’s easy to get lost in a maze of dodgy souvenirs and stinky incense. Fear not! I Love Markets is here to help you find the diamonds amongst the rough and we’re heading to the legendary Camden Lock Market.
 

1. Kick-back, relax and swing with the trees in one of these cool Well Hung Hammocks Who needs Thailand? Well the hot weather would be nice.
2. The Frenchie is one of our favourite market bites. Serving up French classics with a London twist. Bon appétit indeed!
3. House of Guadalupe is an enchanting shrine of Mexican folk art made by different Mexican artists who make exclusive and unique pieces.
4. Up-cycling can be a gamble but we think Liv an Upcycle makes the magic happen.
5. You cannot visit Camden Lock without making a trip to Chin-Chin Labs. Delectable ice cream made to order using Liquid Nitrogen.  Heavenly and to die for. The peanut butter and jelly is a personal favourite.
