My local market is small but plentiful with food stalls from all over the world…read more As well as street food, there are also flower stores, cheese stores, specialist artesian food stores, meat stores, a dog treat store, and even a hemp store! They only accept cash so bring plenty or face a ~£2 surcharge at the only near by cash machine in Londis. After eating be sure to wonder around the vast gardens of Alexandra palace and grab a cake at the garden centre nearby. This is my favourite nearby place to bring my dog for walks.

This is a lovely little farmer's market, and ridiculously convenient for me since I moved to the…read morearea. There's probably only about 15 stalls, but you could do a decent food shop here consisting of fruit & veg, milk, eggs, bread, fish, olives, every type of sausage you can imagine (I settled on pork leek and chilli), amazing cuts of pork and even pre-prepared goodies like pies, chutneys and cakes. And if you get hungry while browsing you can grab a little pie to eat there and then - I enjoyed my butternut squash & spinach, and my hubby devoured his chilli beef & cheddar before I could even snaffle some. If pie isn't your thing, there was also curries, toasted sarnies and all other sorts of goodies. There was also a stall selling hot drinks which even on this sunny Sunday had a sizeable queue. ...when can I go back?

The service is excellent and they will order things for you if you want something they dont stock. There is a post office, without the usual queues in post offices nowadays. The cafe is excellent value for money, good service, local home baked foods, yummy cakes and desserts, cooked foods or a simple sandwich, (freshly made, with salad and crisps on the side). The cafe is very popular but not noisy. I am disabled and this shop is a godsend as I cant walk around big shops and supermarkets but I can get most things here.

This is the tiniest of all of the markets in Camden…read more What you will find here. A crepe truck with Amy Winehouse on the back of it reading "Nobody stands inbetween me and my Camden". The crepe truck seemed to be running on their own schedule....everytime I passed by (often) they were closed up and it was early.. There are lots of touristy stalls with shirts etc that say "London" or "Camden Town" Rockabilly revival stuff mostly for women- HAGGLE folks- most of these dresses I was able to find elsewhere for cheaper--Take your time. There was no fruit stall or baked potato stall when I was here in the entirety of September 2013 but I still enjoyed the atmosphere. The city works hard to clean this area clean. Pop into the Good Mixer for a drink after a bit of shopping. Play the jukebox for awhile.

Also many good pubs and restaurants in street. Market open 7 days in a week but busy days are friday, saturday and sunday. Inverness street is not only great place to buy fruit and vegetables, also you can find lots of beatiful clothes. And dont forget to try nice food stalls. There are 4 food stalls (Mexican, English and Irish, Baked potatoes) You should visit. Video link: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=32VzJWzCMqw

A very nice farmer's market, Sundays only. It's well worth a visit if getting to Queens Park…read morestations isn't too much of a hike. There were at least 40 vendors including: - 3 or 4 booths selling cheeses - 4 or so purveyors of meats - 2 or 3 seafood sellers - many selling veggies, cakes, pastries, ciders, eggs and other raw materials. And if you just want to show up and eat, there were 5-6 vendors selling sausage rolls, burgers, chicken, pulled pork/beef sandwiches, plus French stews. While there are much bigger/well known weekend markets in London, I think this is the best example of a local one that is mostly focused on farmers, fisherman, bakers and butchers - but that also has a lot of stalls where you can eat something really nice. Nobody is selling overpriced jars of stuff or catering to massive crowds. This is a market where you can discuss how the cheese is made with the person who made it.

Ah farmers markets. I used to live right next to one and it was just so nice to have fresh fruit…read moreand veggies and pre-made goodies and flowers and meat and seafood and pastries and bread and ice cream and coffee right on your doorstep. This one was just as good. I think california has different regulations or something because there were lots more meat and seafood stalls. There were at least two or three duplicates of each type of stall. I suggest doing a once around to compare prices and see what's all there that day. So excited to come back and figure out what to make that evening for Sunday roast with my market finds!

A little bit of Italy in North London is always welcome by me. Salami and some Parma ham from Italian Farmers. I couldn't resist getting. Really good produce here. Defo one to check out on a lovely stretch of road that has a few other hidden gems. My fav of Cremasco cheese and some hams are certainly the highlight that I will alway be getting. There's also an amazing chocolate and a Pistachio pastry that is light crispy and sweet. And a £1 each it's so worth getting, esp the latter. Always good to support local independent places too and I certainly will with this one.

We enjoyed walking around and seeing a wide variety of food options! The whole market area was clean and organized when we got there at 9am. No lines yet.

We tried: * The Ginger Pig - Traditional Sausage Roll * Wild Mushroom Risotto - Spelt Risotto with Truffle Shavings * Turnips Greengrocer - Chocolate Covered Strawberries * The Black Pig - The Best One With Crackling * Turkish Deli - Turkish Delight & Turkish Coffee * Bread Ahead - Crème Brûlée Donut

It is a farmer's type market with some prepared foods, which were top notch. We walked the entire thing and grabbed as much as we could to eat. There are plenty of food places just outside the space that are open later as well. I got some meat sticks from a vendor, sort of farmers market style. There was also another stand that had fruit in a cup with chocolate.Our best deal were some arepas that were half off because it was closing time and they wanted to get rid of them. This isn't the place to take pictures, but rather to immerse yourself in all the goodness that is here.

You can find everything from brilliant pies (Raven's Den in particular), awesome cheese (Lincolnshire Poacher and others), fresh veggies (Earthworks and others), fresh fish and meats... not to mention cupcakes and other sweet treats! We usually start by getting a coffee for the husband from the vendor with the mobile coffee bar (the machine is in the back of his van), and then wander the markets and end at the Merchant for a cup of tea for me. As long as there is a rainbow biscuit on the way even our toddler is happy.

I loved that everything was put in paper bags, not plastic. I read that the market has been around since the 9th century, which I loved knowing.

Definitely have to try the Bath cheeses and the dumplings....and why not, the crabs for 6£ each. Overall it is not that cheap but it's still really cool, useful, healthy and good!

Highlights include - the 'gyoza' man - when he turns up - well worth queuing for and sampling. - fish stall - gary's fresh fish - always ready to help with suggestions and ideas for cooking - the apple stall (generally closer to the station entrance) - awesome selection of fruit and worth trying a variety V difficult to park nearby as the local streets get filled up with traders' vans.

Gone was the mix of locals and tourists, cool music playing, great shopping and tasty food! The place was full of shops loaded with cheap, generic junk! It makes Times Square or Pier 39 look eclectic! Want a cheaply printed tee or bag you can also buy on Amazon - check! Want a 'vintage' Amy Whitehouse vinyl for 80 pounds that you can buy on eBay for $5 - check! What about a 'French taco ' aka a tortilla filled with French fries ( seriously) check!! Want to walk shoulder to shoulder to shoulder with unsuspecting tourists buying all of the above - yep they have that too!! We ended up escaping the main drag and finding a local brewery - and even that was empty and devoid of culture! The cool market; with unique finds and great street food has been replaced with a generic experience that you could find at any tourist trap and it makes me sad that areas like this are losing the very identity that set them apart !
