The free day was a day of markets to say the least. After taking the tube to Camden town, the Camden market as well the Stables market were overwhelming in all aspects; multiple levels of labyrinthine booths and stalls. Although I had to step back and process the situation, it was amazing to behold. Along with that, it was interesting to witness the refabrication of the spaces into a contemporary shopping place from their original paddock and dock yards design. In contrast, later that day we ventured to Portobello street in the Notting Hill neighborhood. Not only was the market itself different, but so was the neighborhood itself, which does make sense. Differing from the punk aspect of Camden, Notting Hill was evidently more a residence of the upper crust. This was reflected in the Portobello market itself. In this case the street was shut off for only pedestrian traffic for a handful of blocks with the store fronts opening into the road on the single long strip. Though both markets had the same hustle and bustle vibe, they brought them about in uniquely different ways, which I am glad to have been able to witness on this given free day.
