A Review of London, England’s Camden Market
There are a variety of outdoor markets in London: places you go full of things to buy, eat, drink. However, a high school friend who had been to London before suggested Camden Market when they found out I would be going. I looked it up beforehand, as you do, and it looked like a fun market, so my sister and I checked it out on our trip. Like I said, there are all sorts of things to check out in outdoor markets. Some of the places are stalls; others are actual buildings…or stalls within buildings. It’s kind of like a mini town, if you will, and there is so much to see!
Browsing the various shops was a lot of fun and I ended up buying four coasters that depicted London. It’s kind of difficult to figure out what you want to get though as there are tons of options. Plus, if you’re not from London, then you have to think about packing these things in your luggage – or shipping home!
One of the main things I was excited to check out at Camden Market was all the food. I went to Chin Chin Labs, which is Europe’s first liquid nitro ice cream. As stated on their website, looking more like a science lab than an ice cream parlour, your soft scoop is frozen in front of your eyes, using billowing clouds of liquid nitrogen. This was a popular place to visit, definitely, but it’s definitely worth it. It’s so cool to see them freeze your ice cream – it really is like getting ice cream from a scientist! Plus, the ice cream itself is quite yummy, so win-win all around.
If you want to visit Camden Market, I recommend looking at the website to see what you’re interested in (especially concerning the food) because not all businesses have the same hours! If I ever get a chance to go back to London, I definitely want to check out Camden Market again – there is lots of food I still need to try!!
Wow! The Camden Market certainly has it all! That ice cream looks delicious! I am so jealous, and craving some now! I hope you get to go back, and tell us more about the amazing food there.
That dessert looks so yummy! Thanks for sharing this!
I would definitely like exploring a place like that!
I LOVE Camden Market. One of my favorite places in the world!
We love virtual travel! London has long been on our Travel Bucket List and thanks to your post we’ve added more points of interest to our growing list! Thank you for the delightful post!
OK, I would be all about that ice cream!!! I’m a sucker for desserts, but ice creams especially!
That ice cream looks so cool! My sister moved to Scotland last October, and we were planning to visit for Thanksgiving, but who knows if we will be able to travel by then. But I would love to visit London if we have time while we are there, I’d put Camden Market on my list to see! Thanks for sharing!
You’re very welcome – I hope you can get to Scotland soon, and visit Camden Market if you visit London.
It does look like a lovely place
Oh man, give me this ice cream! What a fun place to visit!

London is somewhere I’ve always wanted to visit, and I will once the world isn’t crazy due to the pandemic. Camden market looks like the perfect way to spend some time. I love those coasters! I collect magnets from places I’ve traveled…maybe coasters are next!
My mom collects magnets when she travels too!!
This looks like such a fun market to visit! I always enjoy summer days at the market. I will have to add this to my bucket list. 🙂
So fun! Don’t we all just want to go anywhere now?! Thank you for sharing your visit to Camden Market with us!
I loooove Camden Market! I’ve been there a couple of times when I lived in London. You can get the best food in Camden, I’ll never forget the mac & cheese and the giant pancakes I had there!
I am so ready to go back!
Oh, I haven’t been to London in ages. Thank you so much for this post—and how cool is that science lab/ice cream place! Your photo looks delicious ?
We visited London when I was in my teens and it was such a great trip. I’d love to visit again. That ice cream place looks amazing!
Oh my gosh, all the food!!! The ice cream looks amazing <3 Putting this on my list if I plan a London trip in the future (once this is all over… SIGH)
I did not make it to Camden Market when I went to London, but you’ve certainly given me incentive to make a return trip and put it on my itinerary. That ice cream looks delicious!
That ice cream place looks like so much fun!! Must be fun to reminisce about trips right now. 🙂
Got so excited because I thought you were scrapbooking!! Lovely photos and memories. Time to break out the scrapbook paper and stickers and get them on a page and into an album! XO
LOL I know, you’re right!! You’ll hopefully see scrapbooking on a Keep It Together post soon.
Camden Market is a place I’ve never been in all my trips to London but it is pretty legendary. I love the sound of the ice-cream place! Looks so yummy.
Looks like a unique market, Lauren. What a beautiful place to visit. In my dreams for now. Hope to go there one day. That ice cream sounds fantastic.
I’d definitely say yes to Nitro Ice Cream!
Looks like an interesting place to visit.
