Things to do in Camberwell
A curated neighbourhood guide — walks, culture, food, and local favourites.
One of Melbourne's longest-running and most popular trash-and-treasure markets, held every Sunday in the car park of the Camberwell Junction. Expect everything from vintage clothing and vinyl records to furniture and bric-a-brac.
Camberwell's main retail spine runs along Burke Road and the Junction precinct, lined with independent boutiques, bookshops, homewares stores and cafés. It has a distinctly unhurried, village-like feel compared to the CBD.
A pleasant local loop around Hartwell Lake connects to the broader Gardiner's Creek shared path, ideal for walking, running or cycling. The reserve is quiet and leafy, attracting local birdlife throughout the year.
A beautifully restored 1930s art deco cinema on Camberwell Road that screens a mix of mainstream releases and arthouse films. One of Melbourne's most characterful independent cinemas, well worth visiting for the building alone.
A cluster of antique dealers and second-hand furniture stores lines Camberwell Road, making it a rewarding browse for vintage homewares, mid-century pieces and curios. Prices can be negotiable if you're a regular.
