The only day of the year we're closed is Christmas Day. If you're coming for a particular shop, stall, restaurant or bar, it's best to double-check with them in advance, as opening hours can vary slightly from business to business.

A Day Exploring Camden Market - London Street Food
Is Camden Market all year round?
We're only ever closed one day a year, and that's Christmas Day because our shop owners, stallholders, street food chefs and creatives are very good and Santa visits them too. Join us on the cobbles from 10am until 6pm (opening times may vary for each trader).
We're open seven days a week from 10am to 6pm including all bank holidays, and we also open some evenings—check our events page for details. The only day of the year we're closed is Christmas Day.
Eating at Camden Market isn't especially cheap – but then I think that's to be expected these days. £10 seemed to be a pretty standard price for most things – which soon adds up when you're paying it five times over but is still considerably less than a sit down meal would have been!
It's completely free to explore! You can spend hours wandering through the labyrinthine streets, discovering hidden gems and soaking up the vibrant atmosphere.
If your a tourist then Camden street market is a great place to visit for a few hours & it's free. Get a bus or tube to Camden Town station & your adventure will start from there. There's sellers of antiques, furniture, gold, you name it, they sell it. There's plenty of cafes & take away food if your hungry.
The nearest tube to Camden market is Camden Town. This is located on the Northern line (the black line on the underground map) and the likelihood is that you'll be traveling Northbound if coming from anywhere in central London. Another nearby station is Chalk Farm, which is just one stop onwards from Camden Town.
Both are mob scenes unless you go first thing after they open. I'd visit both... Borough Market is more upmarket and mainly food, while Camden Market is more open and does clothes and other stuff also there's a lot more shops.
The market has always been a hub for alternative culture in London, with many famous musicians, artists, and fashion designers getting their start here. In the 1980s, it was a popular spot for punks and goths, and today it remains a center for subcultures of all kinds.
One of the highlights of Christmas in Camden is undoubtedly the annual Christmas market. The already bustling streets of Camden Town come alive with festive stalls selling everything from handmade gifts and decorations to mouth-watering festive treats.

Since many people now prefer to pay contactless, there are now card machines at most market stalls, however even nowadays, some of them still only accept cash. Luckily, there are ATM machines available should you need to pay anyone in cash.
Next on our list of best markets in London is Camden Market. Camden is one of London's busiest attractions, especially on Sundays. The 6 markets cover everything from vintage clothes, jewellery, homewares to food&drink. Quality can be an issue so you'll have to use your own judgement when haggling for trinkets.
I always visit Camden when I'm in London, it's full of vintage stalls and weird and wonderful items, and any kind of cuisine you could wish for! People watching is great here, just make sure you haggle when buying from the market traders because you can always knock a few pounds off!
A bit more expensive than elsewhere in the UK, but not ludicrously so in most cases. If you mean domestic groceries, it's slightly more expensive than outside London - retailers have to allow for much higher rents and transport costs, and the higher per capita income in the capital means the market will bear it.
Hundreds of shops and stalls are housed there selling a variety of unique items from accessories and jewellery to furniture and clothing. If you get tired of shopping there's a plenty of entertainment within the market including highly acclaimed galleries or beer gardens.
Camden Market is a melting pot of music, fashion, food and experiences across four unique quarters; Lock, Stables, Hawley Wharf and Buck Street. We are home to a diverse community of creative sellers, street food traders, independent shops and unique restaurants next to the Regent's Canal, open seven days a week.
With much of it covered, it's no wonder over 100,000 visitors make their way here every weekend, rain or shine. The market is in Camden Town in North London along Regent's Canal.
We have taken the decision to close on Mondays which will allow us to do essential maintenance work and additional deep cleaning in order to maintain the safest space for our traders and customers.
