If you ever have a day to spare in London, try Camden Town - home to Goths, rockabilly, punks, and fetish cults in London. Along with that it has a variety of shops and huge food markets.

Camden can be roughly divided into Camden Lock Market, Camden Main Market, Camden Stables and Main Street also known as Chalk Farm.

Camden Lock Market:
A place to go if you want to buy fake bags, fetish leather things or cheap clothes. In short its one of the biggest flee markets in London.

Camden Main Market:
If you think your style is boutiques then Camden main market is the place for you.

Camden Stables:
Out here you will find plenty of vintage shops. Right from old news papers and billboards to vintage clothing - right from the Victorian era.

Main Street:
Home to all major food markets. You will find all kinds of cuisines. A must try is the marshmallow stick with melted chocolate topping. The Main Street also has a lot of bars and clubs. Most of these bars and clubs are dedicated to their cultures so they have a strict dress code. Hence entry is very restricted.

While in Camden there is a possibility you will come across people dressed according to their cults. The bank of the back waters is a major area for recreation and is generally crowded in the evening. The markets shut by 5 30 pm. So make sure you are early enough.
