<i>by Mandy C</i><br>
</font></p>
<p><font size="1">Should you want to get the real atmosphere
of this area then you should come here on a weekend, when
the roads are packed with all sorts from tourists to hippies
and the people that dress up to shop mixing with the people
that dress way down. The main High Street is alive with the
sounds of different music from stalls spilling over each other
and the smells of a variety of food being cooked (or at least
stirred) before your eyes. Its not just falafel around here
you know�<br>
<br>
<b><a href="../../camden/photogallery/camdenmarket/">see
images</a></b></font></p>
<p><font size="1">The main street feels more like a fairground,
lots to see and a variety of colours! Look up as you are walking,
most shops have put up an installation over the top half of
their building that advertises what they sell below - whether
these are huge Doctor Martin Boots or a 'Metallers' skull!
Within these shops you can browse for vinyl - shops full of
quietly breathing men and women expertly flicking through
to find their hearts desire, or you can find trendy shoe stores
- hip to the max trainers and platform boots so high that
every step you take in them you fear is going to be your last.
There are also shops that look like they have been lifted
whole from Oxford Street (you know - the ones that have a
chipped mannequin chained outside wearing a dog collar and
a leather trench coat.) Inside will sell you everything from
sunglasses, clothes, London memorabilia, chain link belts,
sparkly purses and jewellery. There are bargains to be had
so step inside!<br>
<br>
Most of the markets are open seven days a week (with the exception
of the Electric Ballroom, Canal Street Market and the antiques
part of the stables market). So if you have time to browse
in the week you will find a lot more space and chilled atmosphere
to explore.<br>
<br>
<b>Electric Ballroom </b><br>
At the weekends, you get a variety in here - retro clothing
(velvet jackets and the like), glittery jewellery, cool printed
T-shirts, and black gothic style. Shop and be accompanied
by beats from the sound system. <br>
<br>
<b>Buck Street Market </b><br>
This has many stalls to discover within its narrow aisles.
It can get very packed at the weekends, as you slowly join
the shuffle of people moving through the market and peel away
to jump into the small alcoves that hold the stalls. This
area is very good for clothes, as you will find something
for everyone whether you are into the inevitable rainbow coloured
knit-wear, retro T-Shirts with slogans such as 'Chopper' and
'Bagpuss', denim mixed with suede and lace, skinny rib cardigans
and big baggy jeans. <br>
<br>
<b>Inverness Street Market </b><br>
This is a fresh fruit and vegetables market that has grown
in recent years to accommodate stalls that are generally found
in most London community markets - cut price electrical gods,
kids toys and London memorabilia (by this I mean underwear
that has the underground sign on saying 'Private Property'
and sequin purses of the Union Jack.) You can also buy kitchen
goods (checked tea towels, marigold gloves '3 pairs for a
fiver',and that new sink plunger you have been waiting for.)
Well Camden does do 'normal' too! Good bars along here as
well.<br>
<br>
<b>Canal Market </b><br>
Antiques and bric-a-brac are well represented, as is pop memorabilia.
If it's a nice day you can take your food and sit by the canal
and watch the barges float by. A jacket potato and a pint
of beer on a hot sunny day - nothing better.<br>
<br>
<b>Market Hall </b><br>
A relatively new building though you would never know it from
its grand Victorian appearance. This houses two floors of
arts and crafts, with clothes and gifts to be found in the
small shops and boutiques that live around the sides. Here
you will find that special item that you have been waiting
for to treat a friend or yourself to! Leather bound books,
pressed flower lanterns, carved wooden ornaments, second hand
books, picture frames, original jewellery, embroidered shawls
- actually you can discover the rest for yourself! </font></p>
<p><font size="1"><b>East, Middle and West Yard - Camden Lock
Market </b><br>
East yard seemed to be more of a continuation of the High
Street the day I was there, with some original bargains to
be found behind the rainbow tops. The Middle and West yards
however seem to focus on more original designers and crafts
people, where you will find beautifully laid out boutiques,
workshops and specialised outfits. Explore and be happy around
the market square! <br>
<br>
<b>The Stables Market </b><br>
Run the gauntlet of the fast food enterprises and unless you
are interested in chicken with black bean sauce do not catch
the seller's eye! Calls echoed after me - 'Eat here, very
good food, not too spicy, very good noodle - you like the
noodle?' Here is where fashion gets a lot trendier, with cool
retail outlets that stock for hard clubbers and stylish boys
and girls. For our more serious, black lipstick wearing friends
- goth is well-represented and not served up on a tired dish
of tie dye and velvet. For bodices so tight you need breathing
apparatus and PVC that you need PVA to stick you inside them
- here is where you find it. Outlets behave more like clubs
then clothes stores, and clubbing wear seems to include rubber,
plastic, wetsuits and quilted bits - I am curious to know
where these clubbers go clubbing - Iceland maybe? Retro clothes
a go-go, with amazing finds and 70's shirts, clothes for the
boys, girls and inbetwens. Did you throw away that old school
tie? Don't worry you can buy it back here - �15. Even though
this is part of the Stables market - the old horse hospital
at the end is an antique haven. Pop memorabilia, retro toys,
old Jackie annuals, 50's telephones, maps and books, furniture
and handbags. Definitely my favourite part of the whole of
Camden - I can get lost in a 60's time warp here and only
emerge at closing time - with a handful of old photographs
and a Beano annual. Great stuff. </font></p>
