Camden Market: The Ultimate Melting Pot

I was finally in London again. It had been six years since my last visit and I was excited to get started on my new adventure. Immediately I wanted to see everything all at once and it was a struggle to decide what would be my first step. Well, actually it was a struggle to decide where exactly I would buy my first packet of Galaxy Minstrels, after all that was the entire reason for my visit!

I eventually settled on Camden Town.

I had a vision in my mind from all those years before of my sister and I, in Camden Town, standing in the market with our jaws lying on the floor trying to comprehend such incredible diversity. I longed to go back and if my memory served me correct, I would be able to get myself some long awaited chocolate.

For those of you who do not know what Minstrels are, you are SERIOUSLY missing out on one of life’s greatest pleasures. And to all you fellow addicts, I highly recommend you go out and buy some right now. Everyone I know who has ever travelled to Britain spoke of Fish and Chips, mushy peas and beer, but I think the best contribution that the Brits have made to society are those tiny bits of chocolate-y heaven!

And once I had finally got my fix I decided it was time to explore Camden Market. And it did not disappoint. It is an incredible place and if you are visiting London and Camden is not on your agenda then you are doing something wrong

Camden is a melting pot of food, souvenirs, clothes and best of all, the craziest people you will ever meet. There is not a food type that you cannot find and I seriously doubt that there is a single platform shoe missing from their gothic collection. I was in love and my adventure had only just begun.

Eventually I managed to tear myself away from Camden, just in time for dinner. And wine!
