Candem Town is a part of a Londoner neighbourhood, Candem which stands out for the amazing mixure of different people. If you visit London, to visit Candem should be nearly compulsury.
This is the authentic essence of CANDEM TOWN. A mixure of different cultures and life styles such as punks, goths, urbans... Whatever is possible here, in Candem Town. This is exactly which makes it an outstanding place!!
Which makes it really remarkable is that Candem is one of the biggest concentrations of vintage and retro clothing outlets in London and probably Europe, a popular centre for discerning visitors from around the world. Not only are there plenty of shops but also, there is a wonderful market, called Candem Lock, where you can find music, clothes, and some types of items. One of the most popular are Pope which is a legal drug which makes you laugh like a join can do.
To decorate any home and give as wonderful gifts, explore a selection of home furnishings, unique fabrics, paintings and prints. Made-to-order & handcrafted mirrors and frames are also available in shops and in Candem Lock.
I remember the first time I went there, it was amusing! in some occasions I felt really puzzled due to this "odd" people that I wasn´t used to see!! Of course, I noticed that there you can find several items that nowhere you will find them again. Some of the most stylish celebrities in U.K , such Kate Moss or Pete Doherty( which style absolutely matches with Candem, doesn´t it?? ) go to Candem from time to time to do some shopping. If you have been there, you probably agree with me that this is a unique place to get things that you may have never thought that they exist!!
Most businesses are open from 10am until at least 6pm seven days a week. Moreover, tatoo or piercing shops are really common as well as second hand clothing.
One of the most remarkable shops is one where the shopassistants are still and wearing cyber punk (futuristic) clothes ( I can´t quite remember the name). Which makes it different is the fact of none of these shopassistants are allowed to move until you asked for something.
Apart from the shopping, Candem offers a great variety of Pubs, most of them have been created for a very especific clientele. The Devonshire, or The Dev to its friends, is the perfect example of a pub with a clearly defined niche clientele - in this case it's your average Goth - Cyberpunk type. The sign on the door says 'strict dress code only' and they mean it - any colour you like so long as it's black. Do not wear a suit in here unless you are being post-modern.
There are plenty of things to talk about Candem. However, go there and discover them by yourself!!!!!
