Camden Market is a large craft and clothing market in Camden Town. It is the fourth most popular visitor attraction in London, attracting approximately 100,000 people each weekend.
It began in its present form in 1974 when the Camden Lock crafts market was formed, although the traditional local street market in Inverness Street, which has now been absorbed by Camden Market, existed before that.
On February 9, 2008 at 7:20pm local time a large fire began in the Camden Canal Market area on the north side of Chalk Farm Road. After crossing the railway line, the fire has badly affected the rear of the Hawley Arms on Castlehaven Road, a well known local pub frequented by Amy Winehouse . Camden Lock Market and the Stables Market are unaffected by the fire. There were no casualties.
Early reports from an eyewitness, in a video posted on the BBC website, mistakenly indicated it began near Camden Lock Market.
Railway services running above the market were disrupted.
The fire has now been extinguished but the cause is yet unknown.
