London 2013 - Part 3 - Camden

[debris4spike]

I lived in London till I was 25, and spent 4 years going to college there.  Although I had heard of Camden Market I had never been until my recent trip to town ... and now I am amazed by the size of the place.  I didn't go to the outside market as it was snowing (!), but went round the inside ... it had been stables and some of the area still uses the old stalls, but as you can see the rest is adorned by amazing sculprures of those beautiful animals.












Here is the website to see further details. Part of the market is also a large lock on the north of Regents Park (for those who want to know the geography!)










I will go again!

I work near the Islington end of that canal! I've never been there so thanks for the heads up!

[debris4spike]

You will have to swim up the canal - great to look at ... and plenty to see and eat!

All the horse related stuff is wonderful - somewhere else I must go sometime.

I was amazed I had never been - now I must go again!

I worked for years in the large white building you can see at end of canal! Know the area far too well!

Hope I brought back happy memories!

I've seen Camden Locks, but not the Market. The horse statues are wonderful.

[debris4spike]

Those statues were truly stunning.

My cousin lived in Camden, so whenever I visited London Camden was my base. I have been to the lock quite a few times and it is lovely, have never been to the market though--what a beautiful setting for a market!

[debris4spike]

It is a great central location for a holiday.

The horses were stunning.

OMGoodness what a beautiful place with all that Victoriana! I love, love, love the horses wall thingy, it's reminiscent of The Devil's Advocate where the wall freeze was angels, lovely.

It was truly stunning - all types of food, clothes etc ... it was amazing.
