C


amden in north west London remains one of the capital’s liveliest areas for nightlife, and


also street markets. The long-established Stables Market near Chalk Farm station forms a key part of the area’s enduring, unvarnished Victorian brick identity, including ‘Makers’ Alley,’ a line of small retail units along Chalk Farm Road. Created as an independent market for traders, the market features an array of stalls and shops selling clothes, furniture and household goods. A new rooftop bar and restaurant designed by local practice vPPR in a prime position overlooking the market, is already part of the landscape.

Sitting at the north-west of the Regent’s Canal Conservation Area, the market is located in brick structures including capacious viaduct arches, and a total of four listed buildings. With the area’s construction being chiefly erected to serve the burgeoning railway transport of the 19th century, and associated horse-drawn vehicles, they include the former stables of long-established distribution firm Pickfords; the Grade II* listed ‘Horse Hospital.’ This monolithic structure, on the corner of two busy roads (and forming one side of ‘Makers’ Alley) was built for horses who pulled not only carts, but also barges along the adjacent canal.
