North London’s famous mixed-use development pioneered a new type of visitor attraction, growing from a derelict canal-side wharf in 1974 into a top-ten London destination, with 300 market stalls, shops, art studios, craft workshops, restaurants, and alternative trendsetting entertainment. It transformed the canal with passenger traffic and launched Camden as the ‘market town’ it has since become.
Camden Lock has won many awards, and USM’s innovative approach, combining encouragement of small business, imaginative promotion, and arts-based events, has been the successful model for many subsequent projects.
