Find the best places to shop in Camden with this guide to Camden's many markets

Camden Market actually refers to the several markets that cover the northern end of Camden Town. Each market has a character of its own, from the crafts and curiosities of Camden Lock Village to the Stables Market stalls' proclivity for all things boho. And of course there's more to shopping in Camden than the markets. There's also some awesome vintage shops, like Lost 'N' Found. Use Time Out's guide to Camden's shops and markets to uncover some hidden treasures.

Have to say that your market picture is misleading as there are only 2 or 3 vege stalls here, and who do not sell in unit price per kilo so that one is confused if buying for a recipe and if one wants to compare prices with near by Sainsbury's, who do sell in unit prices per kilo. My complaint comes from going there for 2 kilo of tomatoes for a big soup I wanted to make for a party and being given just 2 pounds - which I did not notice until I returned home. Really annoying in this day and age when we have been metric for years.

Correction Camden Lock Market is to the west and Camden Lock Village to the east. Geography was never my strong point!

Whoever wrote this page needs to do a bit more research on Camden Lock Market and Camden Lock Village. These are two completely different markets on the east and west of the high street respectively. Camden Lock Market was the first market that started it all off and Camden Lock Village came later. The address and website, under Camden Lock Village, is in fact for Camden Lock Market. The two should not be listed together as they are totally separate and have their own characters. I have always been impressed with Time Out but in this instance you seem to be rather misinformed. I think you should clarify this and give out accurate information to the people.
