Camden Town Market is described by Henry Mayhew in 1851 as consisting of 50 stalls.

Following public meetings and press criticism, the act was amended within weeks.

[3] The market was still on the High Street in 1878: Saturday evenings the upper part of the street, thronged as it is with stalls of itinerant vendors of the necessaries of daily life, and with the dwellers in the surrounding districts, presents to an ordinary spectator all the attributes of a market place.

[6] Journalist, author, and broadcaster Bernard Levin grew up on Plender Street.

The nearest underground stations are Mornington Crescent and Camden Town.
