About

Camden Market at Hawley Wharf is not just your average market experience in London. Located by the scenic canals, this multi-level market is a refreshing retreat from the bustling main Camden Market. Offering a blend of food stalls from various cultures and artisan shops, it's perfect for a casual family outing.

The market is fully accessible with lifts available, making it easy to navigate with strollers. Basic baby changing facilities are located at Waterside West, however, high chairs are not available, nor are dedicated kids' menus.

Things families love

Families appreciate the relaxed atmosphere compared to the main Camden Market, making it easier to explore with children. The spread across three floors ensures a variety of foods and sights, with plenty of options for different tastes and dietary needs.

Keep in mind

The seating areas can be sparse during busy periods, and some reviews mention cleanliness could improve. Also, while there is a selection of food, options might not specifically cater to young children.

Parent tips

Arrive before noon to avoid crowds and have more space to explore with the family.

Bring wet wipes for unexpected messes, as cleanliness of tables could be hit or miss.

Keep an eye out for pop-up events which are kid-friendly, especially during summer.

Check vendor options ahead for allergy accommodations if needed.

Use public transport to reach the area as parking is very limited.
