On Sundays, Camden is home to many little markets running along Camden High Street. It's a great place to buy souvenirs for friends and family at home or even a little something for yourself. One of my favorite stalls sold different types of incense sticks, some of which I had never heard of before.
The stables are the biggest of the markets. Back in the day, they used to keep horses there (hence the name stables) and now houses vendors during the day and dance clubs at night. You can literally buy all types of gifts there. From clothing to jewelry to records to candles to fancy chocolates, Camden market has everything!
The markets are also known for their street food. There's tons and tons of vendors selling chinese food, indian food, burgers, fish and chips, donuts, pizza and anything else you can imagine. However, you should be prepared to get harassed and yelled at by these people because they will not take no for an answer. You're only hope is to not look too interested in the food or runaway (seriously).
But once you get over the shock, it's great to enjoy your meal sitting by the water when the weather is nice. You can watch people haggling with the vendors and the boat cruises going up and down the river.
