In
this lively and recently restored market square you can
now enjoy some of the best freshly cooked food
in Camden - amazing tastes from many nations.
You'll
find stalls and specialist
shops (open 7 days a week) selling all manner
of attractive goods including oriental carpets, toys,
leather bags, and designer jewellery.
Here
in the West Yard you can hop onto a canal barge
for a trip to London Zoo and Little Venice.
New
cafés and restaurants have recently
opened so you can sit and enjoy a meal or a drink in comfort
while you people-watch seven days a week.
The
West Yard at Camden Lock is most easily reached directly
from the main road via the historic black and white bridge
that arches over the Regent's canal.
You
can pause by the canal and join the crowds watching colourful
barges being eased through the lock, as they have been
for 150 years.
