Camden Stables Market gets its name from its previous incarnation as a horse hospital. In Victorian times, the stables were where horses injured pulling barges down the canals would come for treatment. Now it and the catacombs under the arches opposite have been combined under the umbrella term 'Stables Market' and together make up the largest of Camden's popular market spaces. Over 450 shops and stalls are housed here selling a variety of antiquarian and unique items from accessories and jewellery to furniture and clothing. Even media mogul Chris Evans famously has a stall here. If you tire of shopping and gawking there's plenty of entertainment within the market with the highly acclaimed Proud Gallery offering excellent photographic exhibitions and hip bar At Proud with its terrace attracting beer and sun worshipers in equal measure. Alternatively, if it's an upmarket meal you're after, try Gilgamesh restaurant for good quality dining. Fitness fans can practice tai-chi or indulge in some reflexology at the Karmaa gym/health centre and plenty of celebrities do.
