Apparently the owners of Camden market recently failed to get permission to renovate this part of it...

You know, the cynic in me immediately thought of something dodgy going on, an attempt to drive out the existing scene so the area can be redeveloped...

There was a big empty listed building on Ipswich docks which the developers couldn't get permission to knock down and replace with yuppie flats. Suddenly one night it mysteriously went up in flames... and had to be demolished...

Should point out that it's the canal market, not the stables or the lock markets on the other side of the road where most shops are...
