Inverness Street Market
Inverness Street Market is a small open-air street market running down a side road off Camden High Street in Camden Town. Once a busy neighbourhood fruit-and-vegetable market dating back to the early 20th century, it has shifted over the decades towards street food, clothing and souvenirs as Camden grew into one of London's busiest tourist and nightlife districts. Today it makes an easy, free detour for anyone exploring the wider Camden Market area, with a handful of stalls under canopies stretching along the pedestrianised street.
Opening times
Inverness Street Market trades seven days a week, with stalls generally setting up from the morning and most activity between roughly 10am and 6pm. Trading hours can vary with the weather and the season, and not every pitch is filled on quieter weekdays. Weekends and sunny afternoons are when the street is busiest and the most stalls are out.
What's on the stalls
The market today leans towards street food, fashion and tourist souvenirs rather than the fruit and veg barrows of its past. You will typically find hot food stalls, clothing and accessories, and racks of Camden-themed gifts and memorabilia. It is a compact market, so it works best as a quick browse alongside the much larger Camden markets nearby.
Around the market / getting there
Inverness Street runs just off Camden High Street, a short walk from Camden Town Underground station on the Northern line, with Camden Road overground station also within easy reach. The market sits in the heart of Camden Town, surrounded by pubs, cafes and shops. It pairs naturally with a visit to Camden Lock and the Stables Market a few minutes north along the high street.
