📌 Wander Details: After our long walk along the Regent’s Canal, Micha went ahead to grab a cold N/A beer, and I found myself drifting into the maze of Camden Market, London…
This is one of the city’s most iconic spots, and today it was alive in full colour… The smell of street food from every corner of the globe, and the sound of a thousand different conversations filled the air… Musicians busked on the corners, adding a live soundtrack to my London walking tour, and stalls overflowed with everything from vintage jackets to handmade jewellery, with each piece carrying its own little story.
After my first wander through the market, I headed up onto the road to cross the water, and there they were… a row of leather-clad punks, with towering mohawks, studded jackets, and that unmistakable Camden attitude… They’ve been part of the market’s DNA for decades, living, breathing reminders that this corner of London still marches to its own beat…
