Differences between Camden and Brick Lane market

I went to Brick lane market about a week ago, and at first thought it was quite like Camden; retro stalls, food stalls, graffiti, very-fashionable-clothes and... well, a generally cool atmosphere. But the more I thought about it, the more different they seemed from each other. At first I couldn't work out why; they were both markets, both, "arty" or, "city-ish." Now I can think of more reasons.

Firstly, to me Camden seems more concentrated; wherever you go there will be "Camden-ish" shops or, "cool," stalls/ stores. Whereas in Brick lane, the shops/ stalls seemed further away from each other, and there is a wider range of products on sale, different types of cafes and shops. In fact, Brick Lane almost seemed more real. There were more restaurants and corner shops, places where you can imagine locals going regularly - "useful" places; in Camden everything seems themed - all attention-catching and touristy, which isn't to say that it's all a, "poseur town," just that it seems like it has more tourists than locals.

I also noticed that Brick lane seemed more culturally diverse, with shops (Rather than mainly stalls) selling what I would call, "exotic," food. In Camden, although there are shops that sell, "exotic," food, they sell it as a highly  priced novelty, the food advertising itself as foreign and interesting; in Brick Lane, "exotic," food is sold like it just happens to be exotic. Also, (In Brick Lane) it's not competing so much with other shops to be more attention-catching - and it isn't expensive as in Camden. I'll admit, there were some stalls in Brick Lane where the main attraction was that they're selling (Highly priced?) global food, but there were many authentic-seeming shops on the streets to balance it out.

Another thing I thought was different about the two places was the age-appeal, Camden appears to be younger than Brick lane.
