The lady was nice enough to get us a table even though they were fully booked. What was ridiculous was that we looked on the website which clearly stated you were doing bottomless brunch to find out that they don't even serve brunch which means food. We brushed it off and thought okay £25 for bottomless drinks that's okay we went there to find out that the website is wrong and there is no bottomless brunch. They suggested that we sit and have a drink which is £10-12 for 1 cocktail which is tiny! The security was also sooo rude they were looking down at us like we were trash! I feel that this a lot of false advertisement and they should sort out there website as it's super misleading! WING AND TINGS They were amazing! Super lovely staff, amazing food! Great beer! I will be going back again and again!

We visited both places (which are across the street from each other) two days ago and it was all…read morevery disappointing, as we'd read about the complex and it had sounded well worth visiting. Market Row is very small & it consists primarily of food stalls, and it was very unappealing. Brixton Village is a little larger (although not nearly as large as the description had sounded), and it has lots of small restaurants plus a few tiny shops. We ate dinner at one of the restaurants and it was pretty bad (see my separate review).

It's been over two years since I first discovered Brockley Market and I feel that while B.M. is…read morestill worth a visit, if one is in the area, I am not so enamored of it as I once was. Perhaps it's the change of vendors, the constant lack of available seating, and, on my last visit, the underwhelming selection of local fruit and veg, that bum me out. Dunno. An interesting selection of bread, meat, cheese is still to be had and, thank goodness, Dark Fluid and Mother Flipper are still there, but, as a tourist to the city, I'd prefer to potter around LDN Fields/B'way Market and Maltby Street on my Saturday afternoons instead.

Because the Brockley Market is every Saturday, nearly all of the Brockley locals and many others…read morefrom around the area come every week! The market has a very extensive range of produce with excellent street food stalls. My favourite is 'Mike & Ollie' which is a street food stall that serves excellent high quality food at affordable prices. The people there are very friendly and it is becoming one of the best spots in London to buy great quality, affordable local produce. Mother Flipper has one of the best burgers in the London area and is a must for anyone who thinks they have already found their best burger, think again! I would definitely recommend Brockley Market to anyone who lives in the Brockley Area or around as it has everything for everyone! Perfect!

There are stalls selling fruit and veg, luggage, clothes, kitchen stuff, knock-off perfume and make up etc, but it's all cheap, which is fine if you're on a budget or if that's your thing, but it's not exactly fancy. I'm usually disappointed whenever I pass through, and to be honest with Westfield Stratford City only a short bus ride away, you'd probably rather check that out instead.

Regardless, it is incredible- there are roughly 500 stalls selling goods from fruit and vegetables, clothing, fabric and household goods. Nearby is the local town hall- an impressive neo-classical building- and the William Morris Gallery, which houses a large collection of Pre-Raphaelite works. Unfortunately, the Walthamstow dog track closed down last summer, which apart from the market, was my other main reason for visiting the area.

Marylebone Farmers' Market is an adorable Farmers Market that goes down Grotto Passage…read more I loved that we stopped into Ginger Pig while it was going on because it meant there was seating out front to have our sausage rolls, but we also picked up and extremely sour pink lemonade from one of the gelato vendors. It was fairly small, but could have used some extra water to cut the lemon, so we weren't mad it was on the tiny side. The passage itself had enough space to comfortably walk down and we loved checking out the different higher-end vendors and their wares. Overall I'd definitely recommend dropping by if you're in the area.

Go and then walk along the street a bit until you see the church, walk through the gates and you'll find a perfect park to sit down in and enjoy your yummy food.

Perhaps you even maven it out so all of your friends literally can predict that the punchline of your current sentence will be the subject of your latest obsession...

It's great restaurants like Moro and Medcalf, Cottons and Santore, all of which offer fabulous al fresco experiences on the cobbles under the fairy lights. Gourmet delicatessen Brindisa, Sweet Boulangerie & Patisserie, Caravan, who by the way roasts their own coffee in the basement alongside an amazing menu and cocktail list... it's just good, good, good, on top of more good. It's also the funky shopping like Space EC1, Brill, Family Tree, on top of independent bookshops and record stores. And do I even need to mention the awesomeness that is Bagman and Robin? Exmouth is cute and accessible, it's central but off the beaten path... See what I mean? Until the next best thing, the punchline will always be Exmouth.

I didn't think it was much at the time when I lived in South Croydon, but now I really do miss places like this. I miss wandering "down to town" and passing this market and then wandering pass it again on the way home. It was a great place, full of vibrant people, a decent selection of stalls including ones that sold fresh fruit and veg, bags, purses, books, watches, pendants, antiques, flowers, specialty foods and the list goes on. In general, the number of stalls increased during the weekends. As with most outdoor markets, there's potential for haggling if you're into that kind of thing. There's also a lot of trash, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder... keep your eyes peeled for bargains in the summer, such as freshly plucked berries at an amazing price! Towards closing time (around 5:00 pm), there were lots of bargains that could be had: 1 pound for this or 1 pound for that. That is if you can understand the locals, screaming in cockney rhyming slang. There is nearby street parking, but the best bet would be to park near the city centre and walk down. I was lucky enough to live within walking distance of this market.

This a fun, tiny little Sunday street market, way out on the eastern wave of London's current…read moregentrification scene, and it's obviously on the way up. When I visited on a very rainy Sunday in April, I had to give credit to the merchants and punters that were actually braving the elements. Despite the weather, there were individual stalls selling quite a variety of products, including cheeses, pies, antiques, cakes, pastries, kedgeree, and even Vietnamese sandwiches. As mentioned, this is in a changing area, and the epicenter of this scene is a fine deli. Nearby there's a place selling crepes, a great coffee shop, and very recently a high-end restaurant has just opened up. Even with all this, the area retains its character. There are still a couple of Carribean food places remaining, several inexpensive household goods shops, a great vegetable store, and a good value butcher. Get down here before it all changes!

Unfortunately the area went into decline after the war, but things are starting to change, due to the work of local traders and passionate residents. Chatsworth Road's revival started with a couple of pre-Christmas test markets in 2010, their success has meant that Clapton's homemade, vintage and farmers market is now open every Sunday from 11am to 4pm. Today there are 30 stalls selling a mouthwatering mix of foods, from home made delicious looking cakes, to Japanese pancakes, Vietnamese street food and wonderful smelling freshly baked breads. There are also a number of stalls in a courtyard, where traders sell a variety of vintage and home made goods such as jewellery, clothing and furniture. Its very small compared to more established London markets which for me, can be a bit too hectic for a Sunday morning. Here you can sit with the local hipsters in one of the cafes that spill out on to the pavement, and grab a hot chorizo ciabatta from Venetia's or a breakfast pancake from The Creperie. What makes Chatsworth Road Market unique is its wonderfully friendly, local community feel, its perfect for a relaxing Sunday morning with family or friends.

It just bursts with jolly, healthy goodness! No big name brands here. Ever seen those speciality Chegworth Farm juices in ritzy health food shops? Well they have a whole wall of them here. And Chegworth's own apple crumble and brownies. It's so damn wholesome, you just FEEL like a better person for being in there. Till you check the prices and are rapidly brought back to the reality that you are not the yummy mummy of Darquinn and Chardonnay and to shop here would bankrupt you. But you might as well buy yourself a treat. The crumble perhaps. Drown it on double cream and eat it sitting on the floor of your kitchen, dreaming of the day you too will be swanning about SW1, pushing a three wheeled jogger and discussing your husband's imminent vasectomy with the mums and babies coffee club. Err, or not! * Why not settle here now? Cos it's so effin far away from everything that it costs almost 30 quid to get home in a cab.

That's another big money retailer (no! we're independent and proud!

So that yummy Mums with expensive push chairs can perouse the aisles in a leisurely manner and know that their kid's eating only goodness. Hey, I can't knock the hustle. Organic food's where it's at. And there needs to be many more prominent retailers on our high streets. And this I suppose is the Kensington brand of that, so it's going to be a bit poncey and over-priced. Which puts me off, but they do sell some really nice vegetables, lovely fruit and lots of organic and earthy produce (I've had that apple juice before and it's amazing!). So if you just HAVE to feed your new born some pureed organic pumpkin with a poppy seed foam - THEN come along to the Chegworth Farm Shop on Kensington Church Road!
