End of an era as Camden Town market finally closes down

[editor]

Sea containers and blandness incoming

BUCK Street Market finally closed last Thursday after more than three decades of trading – and will reopen in the new year after being redeveloped into a sea container complex of new units.

The site in Camden High Street – the first market greeting visitors arriving in Camden Town by tube – has been threatened with closure for years amid plans to upgrade the congested underground station.

Used to be good but has been shit for years now. Pretty much all the same stalls selling all the same tourist bollocks t shirts.
The Camden I knew when I first came to London is long gone.

It'll just be differently bland when it reopens

It had gone shit but what will replace it will be infinitely worse.

By the time they upgrade the station there will be nothing worth going there for

I was working there all of last summer, and it was shocking the amount of 'absolutely nothing to do' in Camden. I suppose the canal was alright, and skating up from kings cross was pleasant.

my sister and a friend of hers used to take a stall there every now and agin to get rid of excess clothing, I guess that was the days before car boot sales.

Yes, but hopefully somewhere infinitely worse that I won't be cajoled into visiting

Everything used to be better, dammit!

Young people today just don't know how to whine and winge.

There's still tons of tourists taking pictures of themselves next to the Camden roundels when they get off trains.
So it does still seem to be seen as a 'destination'... like Carnarby Street etc.
Although once they've snapped a pic at a Amy Winehouse location I do wonder how long they stay...
