Camden Market London – gluten free
Camden Lock Market in North West London has become a bit of a gluten free foodie heaven. It is well worth a visit for the food and also to wander around the interesting market stalls – you could spend all day there! Several of the food stalls feature in the 100% gluten free London street food post, but there are also some other options worth checking out, so the market really deserved a dedicated post.
I was wondering around one weekend and came across a heaven sent sign – burgers AND cake 🙂
Honest Burgers
Honest Burgers is not a 100% gluten free venue, but they have quite a cult following for gluten free burgers in London and training is good regarding cross contamination. The chips are amazing and the buns are excellent too. For more detail, read my review on Honest Burgers.
Dingwalls gallery. 7 days 11.30am-11pm (10pm on Sunday).
Cookies and Scream
JULY 2017 update – this location is closed indefinitely due to a fire at Camden Market. New location: 130 Holloway Rd, Highbury East, London N7 8JE, UK
Cookies and Scream is a vegan bakery, located within the Dingwalls gallery area of the market (virtually opposite Honest Burgers!). Every product is dairy, egg, wheat and gluten free. There is some bar style seating looking into the bakery. Tea and coffee available.
Dingwalls gallery, 7 days a week, 10am – 6pm.
Feed Me Primal
Feed me primal is a paleo food stall, based on the hunter-gatherer diet, which is grain (and gluten) free.
The above is a mixture of pork, venison and lamb meatballs (you can have one type of meat, all three or go vegetarian!), on a cauliflower rice with parsnip, carrot and beetroot, a salad, and a grain free flatbread which was made out of cassava flour, almonds, seeds (and something else I can’t remember!). It was all delicious as the flavours all blended and resulted in lots of ‘yums’. Follow on Twitter to see where else they sometimes pop up around London!
Global Kitchen, West Yard, Fri, Sat, Sun 11am – 5pm
Maize Blaze
Colombian fusion street food. A main meal is a mixed plate of rice, beans, sweet plantains, crispy saute potatoes and chorizo or try a traditional corn dough empanada filled with beef, potato and coriander. Vegan options also available.

The menu is entirely naturally gluten free. The chorizo is the only thing they don’t make themselves (contains soya & milk). Follow on Twitter to see where else they sometimes pop up around London!
West Yard. Wed – Sun 10am-6pm
NOJŌ (crepes)
Guilt free crepes that are gluten free with options that can be sweet, meat, vegetarian or vegan!

This is a relative newcomer to the market and I am still to check if there is a dedicated toaster etc for the gluten free bread – worth checking if you are passing by!
West Yard. Wed – Sun 9am-6pm
Crepes a la carte
I have only seen this stall in passing, but the galettes are naturally gluten free – just check re cross contamination.
West Yard. 7 days, 10am-6pm.
There are probably more gluten free finds in the market – please comment below if you know of others that can be added to the list!

If you have time, it is lovely to take a canal boat down Regents Canal from Camden market down to Little Venice. You can stop off at London Zoo on the way as well.
You can easily walk to Paddington station along the canals from where you are dropped off. If you are still of need at food at this point, there are a few options in Paddington station, or for a more substantial meal, I have had some lovely meals at The Summerhouse (a short walk from the narrow boat drop off).
