Camden Stables Market is a great shopping, food and drink destination. The Stables market history is steeped in its unique cosmopolitan, eclectic and individual spirit which appeals to people of all ages. Stables market is a firmly established shopping area for alternative fashion, vintage clothing and accessories.
There about 700 shops and stalls in the area. Many of the shops are housed in a maze of catacombs consisting of brick arches from the Victorian age.
Recently, Stables market has had some recent development work done, with the addition of a wider range of traders to the area. A brilliant new building has been built, housing a wide range of shops and stalls at the ground level.
Several massive new bronze sculptures have been built and added to the market in recognition of its history as an area which once housed stable horses that would pull the barges along the canal and its previous history as a light industrial location.
Getting to Stables market is fairly easy via either Chalk Farm or Camden Town London Underground stations. In addition, there are several bus services which run to and from the area. It is not recommended to travel there by car due to limitations in parking space.
