The area now occupied by Camden Lock Market was once T.E. Dingwalls timber yard and there's still an industrial warehouse feel to the place. These days, however, instead of timber being floated down the canal, the lock is surrounded by restaurants, outdoor seating, shops and market stalls. Improvements in recent years include the glass roofing of the Market Hall arcade and a first floor walkway overlooking the West Yard wharf, all sympathetic with the surrounding Victorian architecture. Together with Camden Stables Market, Camden Lock Market has plenty to offer the casual browser, from handmade handbags to slogan T-shirts. The highly concentrated cluster of market stalls are the biggest draw and the place gets absolutely heaving on weekends.
