Camden Town Market London - Places to Visit in London
Показать описание
The trick is in those different places which are considered famous but which are not always added to the most visited places and thus never come on top of the list. These places are numerous and all of them are exciting to visit for one reason or another, one of these places is the Camden Town Market with all the different variety of products that one could find there.
Being there since 1974, Camden Town Market is a diverse community market of creative sellers, street food traders and independent stores next to the Regent's Canal. Camden Town Market is open every day, offering more than 1,000 shops for people to shop and enjoy themselves at and not just that but the place also offers its visitors places to eat, drink and dance in this historic central London location.
This is a different kind of place for being historical and at the same time for having those different places that would even attract visitors by the way they display their products and not just for the things they sell in general.
Looking back into the history of the place, it would sound interesting to know that it all started with just 16 stalls. Camden Market started off as a small arts and crafts fair in the backyard of Dingwalls and at this time it was just temporary and used to open on Sundays only and not on a daily basis.
Camden Town Market became popular so fast and people didn't even expect such a thing at the beginning, and from being a small market that only opens on Sundays, this market became the biggest one in London and it now opens seven days a week.
There are mainly three different famous sections in this market: the trade, the music and the fashion, and every single one of them has its own history. The trade of Camden Market started back in 1974 when only 16 stalls had their places their, selling antiques, jewelry, arts and crafts, until it reached what we are exposed to today from the different small businesses that bring the multicultural diversity to the city.
When it comes to music, we should mention the Dingwalls which is a famous place in the Camden Town Market. Dingwalls Dance Hall was officially opened back in 1973 but its legacy still lives on until today as one of London's most famous live music venues. Dingwalls passed through different stages of becoming famous and it was all about opening that place with the longest bar in London and keeping the place open until 2 AM in the morning which was opposed to all the other bars that closed at 11 PM.
When it comes to fashion then we should say that the fashion at Camden Town Market was different because it was affected by music and not by catwalks and this appeared in the type of clothes that was displayed there.
It is an interesting thing to visit a place that could offer you lots of different things related to art, music and crafts and at the same time know that it dates back to a very long period of time and actually carries its history along, just like the same thing with Camden Town Market in London.
Walking across the streets of London is by itself an interesting thing because one would be checking the history of the city from the different old buildings and streets which come in addition to the historical destinations that people always choose and add to their list of places to visit in London.
Always dig deeper behind the places that you could visit in the city you are travelling to because sometimes you will find places that carry a good history behind but which are not given much attention and thus lots of tourists know nothing about them and never add them to their plan.
