Good to Know

Tours last 2.5 to 3 hours and begin at a designated meeting point near Camden Market's main entrance. Arrive at least 10 minutes before your scheduled tour time. Wear comfortable walking shoes as you'll be standing and walking on various surfaces throughout the market.

Come moderately hungry but not overly full, as the tastings collectively constitute a substantial meal. Most vendors accept both cards and cash, though some smaller stalls may be cash-only. Bring valid ID if you plan to consume alcohol during the tour.

Camden Market is largely covered, so tours operate in most weather conditions. Dress appropriately for London weather and bring layers as you'll move between indoor and outdoor areas. Large bags and sharp objects are not permitted, and pets cannot join the tour.
