We have 3 buses going along our hotel- Bayswater Road, which is really long then turns into Oxford St and would you believe it, there is one that ran all the way to the markets without a change!
Camden Markets are a melting pot of people, nationalities, punk rockers, goth, nerds, old people, young people and heaps of tourists speaking every language! The markets are actually centred around “The Old Stables” where they use to keep all the horses in pre -car days. There are a mass of life size horse statues depicting the happenings of yester-year, Danni would have loved it.
There were even some shops inside the actual stables which still have their stable doors on. We had Mexican (Graeme) for brunch and Chinese (Denise) the young Chinese lady was calling “come on darling, you want lovely chinese to eat?!” Then we had to top that off with a lemon and sugar crepe to fix Graemes previous trauma with the crappy crepes in Santorini!
Besides all the different people there (my favourite a couple of 40- somethings in floor length leather coats, identical long straight jet black hair and lots of scary piercings and make up!) There were heaps of interesting buys. Best purchase of the day was a pair of fur lined leather boots I got for ₤40, down from ₤115- chur!
