Find space for pop up shops Camden

Camden has been home to the hippy, tie-die brigade since the 1960s. The aroma of joss sticks mingles with the smell of falafel as tourists jostle tattooed teenagers on the banks of the canal.

An industrial past is reflected in yellow brick warehouses, shiny cobbles and (fully functional) locks. London’s biggest and busiest markets live here, selling everything from combat trousers to comedy club tickets.

The politically charged locals wear Doc Martens, swig from beer cans and talk activism, but theirs is no champagne socialism: Camden has dozens of independent shops and venues, and an incredible sense of community unrivalled anywhere in London.
