  6/9/24 - updated with more opening details

  Buck Street Market is a huge container village in Camden which has about 40 shops and restaurants contained within its mini maze of containers.

• Bangladeshi-inspired Dhakaah is coming to Camden Market’s Hawley Wharf

  

  While the UK’s current heatwave may be giving Bangladesh’s temperatures a run for their money, we know the latter country certainly has more reliability in that department. So, when you undoubtedly need warming up again, Camden Market is going to be the place for spicy street-food goodness at new Bangladeshi-inspired Dhakaah.

• El Cenote aims to give Camden folk an authentic Mexican experience with top tacos and margaritas

  

  The idea of opening a Mexican margarita and tacos joint somewhere like Camden definitely seems like it makes good business sense. But what makes the arrival of El Cenote interesting is that rather than being one of those chain restaurants, this is an bar devised and run by two Mexicans.

  Owner Aima Indigo is a Mexican model turned restaurateur who used to work at La Bodega Negra and Mexcalito.

• Gordon Ramsay's York and Albany pub is taken over by squatters

  

  The past few weeks have not been good ones for Gordon Ramsay. Having seen his Camden gastropub closing due to a legal dispute over its lease, the chef is now dealing with squatters at the York and Albany. As first reported in the Sun, a group occupied the 19th century building a week ago but, as squatting is a civil matter, Ramsay's report to the police hasn't resolved matters.

  While the chef prepares to

• The Good Egg comes to Camden

  

  The Good Egg is getting bigger - they're opening their third restaurant in Camden.

  If you're unfamiliar with their current restaurants, either in Carnaby or Margate, their menus are mainly inspired by a combo of Middle-Eastern cooking and classic Jewish delis. As the name suggests, there are plenty of eggs involved and they also do a mean brunch. 

  This new restaurant will have a new dish on offer, the

• The team behind Camden's Black Cow are opening Epicurus, an American and Middle Eastern diner

  

  Ex-Palomar chef Shiri Kraus and Amir Batito have already built a following for their popular Camden steakhouse, The Black Cow. Now the duo are about to open a new diner in Camden's North Yard. Epicurus will be an American diner with Middle Eastern influences. What does that mean exactly? Well, think sloppy bureks rather than sloppy joes and the beef short rib rack is glazed with pomegranate molasses and date

• The Korean Cowgirl picks Camden for its mashup of Korean fried chicken and Texan BBQ

  

  A new Camden restaurant is aiming to bring the best of Texas BBQ and Korean fried chicken to the canalside at Camden. The Korean Cowgirl first opened down in Faversham in Kent, where it made a big deal of its passion for Korean flavours and the low and slow Texan BBQ style.

• The new Bunsik in Camden will add bubble teas to its Korean corndog menu

  

  Having already torn up the scene in Chinatown and Charing Cross, the stupidly popular Korean corndog vendors Bunsik are heading to North London. For their third opening they've found a space on the high street where Camden locals can enjoy all their usual corndogs and a whole lot more.

  The Camden branch will, it seems, have more to offer on its menu than the first two branches. So there'll be
