London - Camden Lock

Before Dim Sum, before Diwali, there was Camden Lock Market. On our first Sunday in London, Katy and I spent the morning people watching and window shopping our way around Camden Lock.

Temptation was everywhere. Luckily our hotel breakfast tided us over until early afternoon.

There were people everywhere. Mostly tourists but enough locals to make things interesting. Apparently the market used to be known for its punk atmosphere, but these days things have tamed down quite a bit.

Those cookie slabs were ginormous and even more beautiful in person. We resisted.

We were just in time to see the lock in action. It let through a couple of hipster house boat-barges. 

Polish sausages and crispy edged potatoes. I did not say no to a sample bite of sausages, delicious.

And then it was time for a walk along the canal, down through Regent's Park to Dim Sum. We had more than worked up an appetite.
