Instead of meeting people at Camden Town tube station, please see our Meeting places in Camden page for easy to find, comfortable, safe places to meet up with friends in Camden Town.

Most of Camden's six markets are now open all week. Rather than use Camden Town underground station on Saturdays and Sundays when it gets crowded in the afternoons, please consider visiting on Thursday or Friday instead.

Not many people know this, but there are three tube stations on the road with the markets on. Camden Town station and Chalk Farm station are either side of the markets on the same road.

Camden Town station gets crowded on Saturdays and Sundays between 13:00 (1pm) - and 17:30 (5;30pm). It is "way out only" between those times on Saturdays and Sundays, so people can go out onto Camden High Street from Camden Town station then, but must use another station, such as the ones below, or another way of travelling until 5:30pm.

The best way to see the markets if you are travelling by tube is to go there by Camden Town station, see all of the markets and travel back home from Chalk Farm station on the other side of the Stables market. You can't miss it because it is on the same road at Camden Town station and all of the markets. That way you will see all six markets and there are places you can sit down, eat and have a drink.

If you attempt to get back into Camden Town station during the Way Out Only period, you will be sent all the way to the bottom of Camden High Street to Mornington Crescent station. So Chalk Farm underground station is the second best option.

Chalk Farm station is on the same road as Camden Town station and on the other side of the last of the markets, The Stables market. This is the second best tube station to use and it is very easy to find.

Mornington Crescent station is at the other end of Camden High Street to Chalk Farm station, (which is a closer option by far). If you attempt to go back into Camden Town station during the Way Out Only period at weekends, you will be sent to Morninton Crescent station, when you could have walked along the road to Chalk Farm station from the markets more quickly. Do yourself a favour - use Chalk Farm station as the second best option.

This is the next nearest station and it does not get crowded. However, it is not a straight walk away from the markets, like Chalk Farm and Mornington Crescent stations, unless you walk up Kentish Town Road from Camden Town station and it is an uphill walk. Again, we suggest you use Chalk Farm station.

Camden Road rail station is a few minutes walk straight along Camden Road, (not Camden High Street).

Camden has has many buses passing through. We suggest you call the Travel Information in on 020 222 1234 and ask for your best bus options or see the Transport for London Journey Planner. (As the Travel Information Line is open 24 hours a day, it is a good idea to have the number on you. Say, in your mobile phone.

This service makes for a nice day out, stopping at places such as London Zoo. Information: 020 7482 2660 Bookings: 020 7482 2550 (If you go to London Zoo on the Waterbus, admission to the zoo is free.)

During the evening, there are two mini cab firms just outside the station. One on Camden High Street just next to the burger bar if you turn right up Camden High Street out of the station. One next to the Half Way House pub on Kentish Town Road. There are also cab firms with offices outside Chalk Farm and Mornington Crescent stations.
