Camden Town
29-OCT-2006:
Camden Town is London's most popular open-air market area with stalls, shops, pubs and restaurants. Along Camden High Street are shops selling funky-looking and punk clothes and shoes, tatoo & body piercing saloons and pubs.
Just off Camden High Street, to the left and right, there are markets with various stalls selling food, furniture, arts & crafts, books and many more. There are stalls selling Chinese food (like those 'Chap Fan' that we can get in Malaysia). You can mix any 3 dishes with rice or noodles as the base and it costs £3.50. We bought from one of these stalls and the food surprisingly tasted very good. We also bought curry lamb rice from an Indian food stall. It was pretty good but not spicy at all. Dominic even had some.
The place was jam packed with people and we could see 'punk' teenagers everywhere. Honestly, it's a great place to visit but I wouldn't fancy staying in this area. Camden Town is accessible via the Silverlink Metro train (Camden Road station) or take the underground to Camden Town station.
