The Camden Markets have their roots in the early 20th century, when a traditional fruit and vegetable market was established in Inverness Street. With the rise of the supermarkets, the original market started to contract. However, rather than being the end of the Camden Markets, arguably this was just the beginning. Since 1974, a weekly crafts market has been held in nearby Camden Lock, heralding the area's transformation in to the vibrant and varied market that London knows today. There are now six markets that comprise the Camden Markets, selling a wide and varied range of goods. Traditionally, the markets were only operated on Sundays and this is still the busiest day of the week, but its popularity has seen Saturdays becoming almost as busy, with many traders now open all week.
