Camden Market Hawley Wharf
Camden Market Hawley Wharf is the newest part of the famous Camden Market, set right on the edge of Regent's Canal in Camden Town. Built into restored railway arches and waterside halls, it brings together covered food courts, independent retailers and rooftop restaurants in one buzzing canalside spot. Once a tired stretch of old market sheds, the site reopened in stages from 2021 as a modern creative and cultural destination while keeping the gritty, alternative spirit Camden is known for. It is free to wander, so you can graze your way through global street food, browse one-off homewares and handmade gifts, then sit by the water and watch the canal boats go by.
Opening times
Camden Market Hawley Wharf is open every day, and the covered food halls keep long hours so it works for both lunch and a late dinner, typically running from late morning until late evening. The independent shops tend to open a little later in the day and close earlier, especially at the start of the week. Weekends are the liveliest, but if you want a calmer visit and a better chance of a canalside table, come on a weekday or earlier in the day.
What's on the stalls
The heart of Hawley Wharf is its food, with more than 30 global street food traders spread across the covered Waterside Halls serving everything from Pad Thai and teriyaki bowls to pittas, salads and sweet treats. Beyond the food courts you will find independent retailers selling homewares, handmade gifts and one-off pieces, plus rooftop restaurants for a sit-down meal. There is also a Curzon cinema tucked into the railway arches and a subterranean adventure park for kids.
