The Camden Card

You probably already know that Camden’s Stables Market gets its name from its previous incarnation as a horse stables and hospital, but that’s just the beginning. Read on for an at-a-glance-guide to the history of this world famous market. Every day’s a school day…

Camden Market as well as some of our traders have signed up for the week to support the local community to make Camden fairer place for everyone. If you didn’t already know about Camden Giving, they connect people who live, work and play in Camden to end local inequality through providing support to locals who lead their own projects. Ranging anywhere from boxing clubs to resident newspapers and food banks to homeless shelters.

The month of May brings many gifts - mostly two bank holiday weekends as well as the promise of summer. The music venues are packed this month, with a wide variety of genres hitting Camden Town.

Cars haven’t been invented yet and horse and cart is the only real means of travel for far flung destinations. There are a few milestones in Camden’s history as significant as those that happened within the 19th century, an era known as the 'Industrial Revolution'.

The LGBTQI Turkish streetwear brand has been breaking boundaries for years, their garments are regularly spotted on celebrities and fashion influences alike. Famous faces include Hayley Kiyoko (known as Lesbian Jesus) to Zach Herron (boyband royalty) and seen in recent Ubikwist and Cosmo fashion campaigns, DB Berdan is not going anywhere.

Low and behold, we are open for the glorious 4-day weekend and even the spring sun is coming out to join us! The underground is running, however, for our non-London friends the bad news is Euston is closed from Good Friday until Easter Monday. The good news is we’ve got some cracking Easter foodie specials for those victorious against the national railway.
