April 2018

[edit]

As I couldn't find a published source, this isn't yet eligible for the article. I visited the market on a sunny Thursday in April 2018 from about 15:00. There were a few stalls selling the sort of things sold in the touristy Camden markets, but no foodstuff stalls - or prepared food stalls, for that matter - which are the lifesblood of simple street markets. There were a few shops, as distinct from stalls, offering fruit and vegetables, and other foodstuffs. I think the market officially closes at 18:00, but there were traders packing up at 15:30. It seems to be sharing the fate of the Camden Inverness Street market, which was a thriving food market for a century, but is now a sad touristy offshoot of the other Camden markets, with no foodstuff stalls, and a few now selling fast food.

On a Saturday at 14:30 there were just a few more stalls. I was told by a stall-holder packing up at that time that there are a few more in the morning.
