The market i'd been hearing about for years, the market my little sister had been to and come back with amazing clothes that made me go green with envy, the market i'd been longing to go to for ages...
Well today i finally went! :-D
I had two excellent guides, Anna and Charlie, who had very kindly offered to show me around (thanks again guys!) which was cool as i wouldnt have known where to start on my own! From what they told me and from what i gathered whilst walking around, there are several markets but they all seem to blend into one!
I really liked the Stables market, everywhere you looked there were stalls and shops selling nice sparkely things that made me grin :-)
We went to this amazing shop that i unfortunatley can't write about yet as i want to take a friend of mine there and surprise them as to what's in it :-)
The food section was impressive, I saw stalls selling chinese food, spainish paella, burgers, doughnuts and corn on the cob (on the same stall! Weird combo huh!), and no doubt there were more i didnt see. Charlie bought us chinese food and we fought for a space next to a bin to stand and eat. It was very crowded, being saturday i wasnt really surprised. It was funny, while we were decided what to eat all the stall holders were trying to get us to buy their food, handing out free food. I wondered if maybe you could walk up and down filling up on them! :-D
We went to the canal and the lock too, which was really nice, Anna and Charlie had mulled wine and i had organic tea, which was very much needed as it was rather cold. I'm familiar with the sea and the countryside but i do love canals and riverboats and locks.
There's so much to Camder market i could spend several days there. I have the feeling i'll get lost but with my sense of direction thats almost always a given, and besides, with so many nice stalls and nice food around me it'll be the best sort of lost you can be! :-)
