Camden Lock London Bridge Sign

The iconic, brightly coloured "Camden Lock" lettering painted across the railway bridge in London was designed and hand-painted in 1989 by British street artist John Bulley. Commissioned by the market's operators, Bulley created a distinctive typeface and vibrant colour scheme that reflected Camden's bold, independent, and alternative spirit. The striking design quickly became synonymous with the area, and its influence can still be seen today in the official custom typefaces used throughout Camden Market.
