Horrible at the weekends! Full of grotty kids and tourists. That includes you - you know who you are!
But full of wonderful stores, stalls, bar et al. Give yourself a lot of time (and patience) to explore, find your favourites, pick up a bargain.
Note, the stall holders will haggle. Never attempt to pay full price for anything! I'm a very tight young man.

Camden market has its own sense of style that can be found no where else. It has such a wide variety of fashions and accessories to choose from, that there is some thing for every one. We went looking for some funky trousers and found a lot of colours and styles that we liked. Have been many times looking for different stuff and have never been unable to find a bargain. I have found that some stalls can be over priced, so plead poverty and haggle a bit for their best prices. The selection of food out lets is great too and never fails to please. A great place to shop till you drop

London's very own alterative soul. The market is vibrant and home to great vintage clothing, street food and inevitable tourist tat. The market area is situated near the underground station and near the lock and is very easy to get to from surrounding areas such as harrow, Enfield and Finchley. Camden is also only 2 stops away from Leister square making it great for hanging out in before catching a film. The area is home to many an indie institution such koko and the electric ballroom and many bands. The area is well known by pick pockets so one should keep their wits about them.

Camden market is something you just have to do if you live or are visiting London. It does get really busy - so much so that the underground station which is just 5 minutes away is often packed with people looking for a bargain. As you get out of the station the people spill onto the pavements.
There is a good vibe in Camden, music playing in the street, people standing around chatting. Follow the crowds if you're unsure where to go.
The market has a mix of things for sale from jewellery, bags, clothing to antiques and vintage clothing. There is lots to look at and even more to spend money on!
There are plenty of food stalls selling all manner of things if you need to take a break from the shopping. You really need a few hours to look around properly and find yourself a bargain or two, so pace yourself and enjoy!

Camden Market is a fantastic place to spend the day shopping. often with the reputation of being more punk, goth or just alternative, there is guaranteed to be something you'll like there.
There is wide range of shops and stalls that sell a wide range of clothes, shoes and accessories.
It often get very busy, not only with the tourists but locals too. With the canal so close, on summer days it can get especially busy.
It is also a place that you can find not only bargains but rare and items as there are many 'second hand' boutiques around.
Camden is a place pulsing with energy and friendly people. There is a wide range of food available from all over the world, which is in keeping with the culture.
I felt a little intimidated the first time i went there but now i love it and go regularly.
Its an absolute must for London!!!!

Camden Market is one of my favourite places in London. It's got witty t-shirts, gothic clothes, cool badges, a whole variety of belt buckles, band hoodies, and then some of that freaky slimy stuff (I don't know WHAT it is, but it's weird)
Whatever your fashion tastes are, you'll probably find something to buy in the market, but of course, it'll be much easier to find if you like the goth/punk/new wave type stuff.
Personally, I go for the hoodies and the funny t-shirts. New t-shirts come along occasionally, matching current TV shows, films, news, etc (for example, the more recently seen t-shirt saying "Hiro is my hero!" relating to the TV show "Heroes")
One thing I would say to everyone is do NOT buy things at the price they say! HAGGLE! Nothing in Camden is worth what they try to sell it as, so they'll normally bring down the price a good 25/50%. Also, keep your cash in notes of lesser values - when they ask for £15, bring out a £10 note and innocently say that it's all the money you have left. But those are just my tricks :P
Anyway, I really recommend that everyone goes to Camden at least once (tourists included!)

Camden's great! There's something for everyone there, whoever you are; be it tourist or Londoner, goth or rocker, old or young, this is the place for you. Whether you're there for a browse or serious spending (at all sorts of prices), you should come away happy here.
Focusing on the market, there is mainly rocky shops selling clothing such as band t shirt, vintage, you're more tacky (in my opinion) tourist stuff. Also a jewelry store which sells really cool stuff at really low prices (I’ve got sensitive ears but still never had a problem but be careful), lots of cool shapes (zips, stars, normal studs, lots of other weird and wonderful designs).
Also around the area are lots of great places to eat food (there’s an area by the lock with lots of Chinese stores), or just sit by the lock and watch the world go by.
A really interesting place, if only for the diversity of people you get there, definitely worth visiting.

This is a great place to spend a chilling sunday afternoon.
If your not after the funky stuff on sale then theres plenty to see, and plenty of places to grab a bit to eat(stalls , cafes,rest,pubs ect).
this is one of the easiest places to get to and from in london .
camden station is on the northern line and its a 5 min walk from there just follow all the people you cant get lost
and it has something for everyone, if you want to make a day of it you can get from here to the zoo or the heath in under 10 mins and on one bus ride or you could even catch a barge up the river to the park or zoo.
great place for a different day out and make sure you look all around as im sure you will spots something or someone you wont have seen before

Really enjoyed wandering around Camden Market last Sunday morning which happened to be dry and sunny so I'm sure that enhanced my whole experience. Caught the tube from Tottenham Court Road to Camden Town - Northern Line. Then 2 minutes walk up to the markets - so many to choose from - brilliant. Rain or shine, it would not really matter, much is under cover. Apparently you can pick up a boat/barge trip up to Regents Park Zoo. Take a camera, the amazing fascias above the shops around the market areas are brilliant! There are numerous foodstalls to try of every nationality and several cafe bars.
