Camden Lock, Canal lock in Camden Town, London, England.
The Hampstead Road Lock features twin manually operated chambers on the Regent's Canal, allowing boats to navigate different water levels.
Between 1818 and 1820, engineers constructed this lock as part of the Regent's Canal project connecting Paddington to Limehouse.
The lock marks the center of Camden Market, where traders sell crafts, food, and goods in renovated industrial buildings.
The lock remains operational for canal boats, with designated lock keepers managing water levels and boat passage throughout the day.
Each of the twin chambers displays an identical nameplate reading 'Hampstead Road Lock 1', creating an unusual double numbering system.
