Yes. The Canal Market was probably the least visited and least
important one. The tube station redevelopment is a long way south and
gets rid of Buck Street Market, which is the most touristy one -
mostly identical stalls telling t-shirts for edgy 14 year olds. The
other markets are much more interesting.

Got it. Not what I think normally of as part of the Camden Market
at all, don't think I've even been in it. They could have burnt and
redeveloped that bit all they liked ! Some day when I go there I will
work out the layout. I tried Google but every site relating to Camden
seemed overloaded ...

Thanks for the link. Getting OT for Camden Market but as a once-frequent
visitor to the Four Aces and the Theatre Factory (both now R.I.P) I have
a lot of sympathy with Opendalston's war against Hackney planning blight,
even if not with all their conspiracy theories!
