"Stable market is absolute my favorite" Camden Market Tip by MATIM

The market is located in the former Pickfords stables and horse hospital which served the horses pulling Pickford's distribution vans and barges along the canal. Many of the stalls and shops are set in large arches in railway viaducts.

Chain stores are not permitted and trade is provided by a mixture of small enclosed and outdoor shops and stalls, of which some are permanent, while others are hired by the day. In common with most of the other Camden markets the Stables Market has many clothes stalls.

What to buy: It is also the main focus for furniture in the markets. Household goods, decorative, ethnically influenced items, and secondhand or 20th-century antiquesare, many of them hand-crafted are among the wares on sale, and also includes clothing and art pieces for alternative sub-cultures, such as goths and cybergoths. Two of the more well-known of these shops are Black Rose, which caters for goths, with items such as coffin-shaped handbags, and Cyberdog, which houses a huge range of cyber-style neon PVC and rubber clothing.
