Camden Markets are London’s fourth largest attraction and the most popular tourist destinations in Camden. Markets see over 100,000 people visiting them every weekend.

However, Camden Market is not the only notable place in the area. For history lovers, it will be interesting to learn the inner, underground history of this area.

You can still find some reminders of Camden’s industrial heritage dotted around the area. Horse slips and ventilation shafts that look like drains are the remnants of so-called Camden’s catacombs. In the 20s-40s of the 19th century, it was actually a network of horse tunnels and engine vaults largely underneath the Camden markets. The mega-stables also incorporated tack rooms, saddler’s workshops, stable blocks, and horse hospital.

A place that initially was a five-street village owned by Sir Charles Pratt since 1791 eventually became the largest stables for horses and pit ponies. This equine heyday serviced 700 to 800 horses and supplied the Camden Goods Depot with the excellent working force.

Horses enabled much of the industrial activity above ground; they were used to pull trains, train parts, luggage long before and even after the appearance of the railways. Catacombs also connected the Roundhouse and the Regent’s Canal giving a safe walkway for horses, however, these fascinating places are inaccessible at the moment due to the risk of flooding.
