A good way to arrive at the market if coming from areas not serviced by the underground. A pleasant 3 minute-walk down to the market areas.
On the Camden Road is where the North London line has been bringing people as long as I can remember. Gone are the old machines dispensing tickets against round buttons marked 10p and 20p. In their place a ticket office and also a cashpoint. The North London line is, for those that live in Camden, a secret. In 30 minutes you can go all the way down to the beautiful Kew Gardens, and then on to Richmond for a lovely day out. It’s highly recommended. You also get some great views over what I is left of old London.
If you’re thinking about going up to Islington, to visit the Camden Passage antiques market (40 years) you can take the trian to Highbury and Islington, and then walk down Upper Street for 10 minutes to find the market on your left. The line goes beyond Hackney to finish in Stratford, so it is a great connection between East and West London. This is a the best of all the transport methods for arriving at Camden Market if you have children (not prams as there is an incredibly steep staircase at Camden Road that joins the platforms) as the walk down to Camden takes in the first glipses of the Regent’s canal.
