On Regent's Canal boils London's most famous alternative market: Camden — fashion, music and craft in the historic Stables stalls, and a world food yard where halal abounds (grills and eastern kitchens many). Weekends roar its true peak with weekdays kinder to serious buyers; close with the canal boat to Little Venice — a calm water hour balancing the market's din; bargain gently at independent stalls, the food fairer-priced than the center.
