A nice sunny day on saturday, and Charity went to Camden Market with her friend Amy. After a quick text message invite I hopped onto the new tredley to once again go for a jaunt through London's roads and traffic. Not only am I enjoying riding through London - not counting the few dopey motorists that haven't a clue - I'm really starting to get the hang of their odd road rules and traffic light systems.
Anyway, I digress, and I found Camden Market after a half hour ride and ended up in amongst masses of people. The market itself isn't just on large marketplace like the Vic Markets in Melbourne, but almost like an entire road full of small shops that link a couple of marketplaces together. Name it and you could probably find it here to by - just like this used maniquine. I even managed to find Hare Krishna's, which I've not seen for ages!! (unfortunately, I forgot to bring the picture of them with me to the internet cafe...) The outside of the shops themselves were pretty interesting as well, as you can see the dragon on the wall in the pic below, there were plenty of other shops/buildings with other items on the walls - including a DC-3 Plane!
All very interesting and many different types of people everywhere! Even through the throngs, I managed to find Charity and Amy and then join them for a walk through another section of the main road and several shops. So much more to see, but the late afternoon approached while the weather turned rather cloudy and cold... Time for me to head home and not freeze on the bike nor have to navigate my way home in the dark!Definately a place to go again!!
