Camden Lock Camden Lock Place, Chalk Farm Road, Camden, London, NW1 8AF Camden Lock was opened by Northside Developments Ltd as the original arts and crafts market; a makeshift collective of workshops and traders set against a rich industrial heritage. The early development revolved simply around the old wooden sheds and cobbled yards. As the first Market in Camden, it immediately stood out from London's other markets for its eclectic mix, and soon attracted the vital group of entrepreneurs and artists that first generated the Camden Town 'buzz'. This is a huge attraction and a great shopping experience, know as much for the diversity of people as for its mixture of stalls and multicultural food. There’s a wide array of goods to view ranging from antiques to clothes (vintage and new) crafts, art, accessories and furnishings. They have just about everything and anything you could want or immagine. London Canal Museum 12-13 New Wharf Road, London, N1 9RT At the London Canal Museum you can see inside a narrowboat cabin, learn about the history of London's canals, about the cargoes carried, the people who lived and worked on the waterways, and the horses that pulled their boats. Peer down into the unique heritage of a huge Victorian ice well used to store ice imported from Norway and brought by ship and canal boat to be stored. The museum is an attraction housed in a former ice warehouse built in about 1862-3 for Carlo Gatti, the famous ice cream maker, and features the history of the ice trade and ice cream as well as the canals. This is the only London museum of inland waterways and is situated at King's Cross, an accessible central London location.
