Camden Lock

Written by LIM College | 4/2/12 7:00 PM

Camden Lock is an huge market with clothing, accessories, arts and crafts, and plenty of different kinds of food from all over the world -- from Turkish wraps to chocolate churros to fish and chips.



The market is open seven days a week from 10am to 6pm. It is surrounded by bars and other shops as well. The market is located right next to the bridge over the canal. It is the perfect place to go for shopping and great food, especially on a nice sunny day.

Chaboba is located inside the Camden Lock area. It is a cute little shop that offers three different types of bubble drinks -- milk bubble tea, fruit bottle tea, and crush boba, which is a smoothie. Surprisingly, I love both the fruit bubble tea and smoothie. I normally do not really drink tea, but I absolutely loved the bubble tea. The shop was inspired by shops in Taiwan because that is where bubble tea was invented.
