- Camden market is the best bet. Loads of stores. Most likely place to have this style.
- 1 to 4:30 - explore/ eat lunch at Camden market
- I haven’t been to the Camden market but I’ve heard good things. It’s bigger and there’s more than just food.
- I went to Camden market and it was also targeted towards tourists, but it was clear that it was. You can still find some of that "alternative" vibes it had when I visited in the late 90s. Also the prices were much better.
Cons
- Camden market (too touristy, way too many people, better back in the day, I've heard that about everything from y'all tho so, huge market holyy)
- Parent context: Take them to Camden Market. Yes, it’s in the city, but it’s just full of weird stuff. Reply: It’s full of shit mass produced stuff

- Personally, I would not bother with Camden Market. I used to love it as a teenager for buying cheap clothes and brightly coloured hair dyes, I don’t think if offers that much in the way of charm for adults and it’s certainly not a “foodi...
- Drop Camden Market from your first day — it’s an unremarkable tourist trap, not a good food destination, and out of the way considering the rest of your itinerary.

yeah Camden's still the spot for that, the Stables and the indoor bits have loads of alt and punk stuff even if it's touristy now.
If you want generic overpriced stuff, yes
Nah. They just sell the same tourist tat unfortunately
It’s genuinely awful
