Camden Market

I found the most dangerous place for me in London--Camden Market. There are stalls and stalls of clothes and bags galore (both new and vintage) and you can haggle, even though the prices are pretty reasonable already. I think that this is the official Camden market below, but there are also blocks and blocks of stores selling cheap wares and other market areas with lots of food places on the other side of the canal.



I was finally able to buy one of the scarves that I wanted for 2 pounds (the cheapest I saw them for has been 3 pounds). There was also a vegetarian restaurant where I bought a veggie burger for lunch. The "weiners" were tiny and it was in a roll instead of a hot dog bun.

Some of the other restaurants that I saw later on had mexican, cuban, and all sorts of asian and indian food. I have to go back there just to eat! Here's several more pictures of the Camden market area.





Another reason I went to the area was to go to the Fresh & Wild, which is owned by Whole Foods, since the only WF in London is pretty far away. It was great to finally find fake deli slices and fake cheese. I was so excited!!! The weird thing is that it is hard to find veggie burgers here. All they had at the F&W was nut burgers (which are actually really tasty) and all I have seen at the grocery story by my house are portabello burgers. Oh, I wish the WF was closer.
