I went in 2 different times: saturday at 3pm and wednesday at 10am. Two completely different vibes. I tried the famous sandwich from the black pig, viral chocolate covered strawberries and bread ahead. Black pig - the best one sandwich: it was AMAZING!!! I was a bit scared to get this since i was by myself but let me tell you, it was not heavy as i expected it to be. Just delicious overall and would totally recommend. Chocolate strawberries: I love strawberries and chocolate but definitely think you can find cheaper alternatives anywhere in london. Bread Ahead: my new favorite pastry place. I pretty much got a donut from this place (not this location) everyday because the black currant cheesecake donut was that good. I got the tiramisu and crème brûlée donut which my brother liked and i wish i could've tasted them before they went bad but anyways, I would totally recommend the donuts from here! Their chocolate chips cookies are HUGE and delicious as well. This was probably one of my favorite markets!

Strutton Ground Market is a small street market held on weekdays near the Victoria section of…read moreLondon. The market is named for the narrow cobblestone street that it is located on. It is one of the most centrally located street markets in London. The market mainly caters for local residents and the office population in the immediate Victoria Street area, selling food, groceries, books and clothing, but is becoming increasingly popular with tourists. My wife and I visited the Strutton Ground Market while we were on a trip to London in April 2019. We had just visited Westminster Abbey down the street, and my wife told me about a great street market that we could stop at for lunch. She had studied abroad in London and knew her way around the city pretty well. There were so many delicious-sounding food vendors that we had trouble picking. I decided to order from a Middle Eastern food vender called Falafel Zaki Zaki. I ordered "The Whole Shebang Wrap" which was stuffed with falafel, eggplant (aubergine), salad, hot peppers, pickled vegetables and white sauce. Just as I was about to take a picture of the delicious wrap, the vendor posed for the shot and had me cracking up. That wrap was so good!! My wife found a cool Indian street food vendor and ordered some Samosas and a side of Chicken with Rice. We ended up sharing all of our food and were very happy with our choices. We'll definitely stop again on our next trip to London.

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. A short walk down the hill brings you to beautiful neighborhoods with cobblestone roads and the huge cathedral. It's a lovely area overall.

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.

The beer garden out front is perfect for hanging out, while the indoor food court--though a bit tucked away--opens up into a huge space filled with a variety of great food options. I tried The Duck Shed's Vietnamese wrap, which was packed with flavor, and the fish & chips, which were fresh and perfectly crispy. Whether you're looking to relax outside or explore the numerous indoor food stalls, it's a great place to hang out with friends.

I believe that the name Mercato Metropolitano is for the retail area. It was open early matching…read morethe hours listed on yelp. The Food Hall itself opened at noon. As I remember it, there was a cheese monger (who also greeted us), cafe, and some fresh produce. There were also a few tables and chairs for folks to relax and enjoy their beverages and pastries. The man in the cafe, who made our latte was friendly and charming. He asked where my wife's family was from and then spoke some rudimentary Japanese with her. When a regular customer came in with his dog, Molly, the business owner sliced some meat and served it to Molly. It was obvious that while much of his business was probably transitory, he took the time to get to know his customers, even the K-9's. Oh yeah, and the latte was pretty good too!

At…read morejust £6 in total, we got 2 (large) bags of purple sprouting brocolli, a kilo of apples, a bottle of pear juice and some rhubarb. The modest pricing plus the choice make this a great resource for locals. There are stalls selling pies (sweet and savoury), meats of various types, cheeses galore, sausages to die for . . . and much else besides. Being a farmer's market seasonality is the key. It's a pleasant change from the stress of the over-subscribed Borough market - full of sample tasting oiks who just crowd the place without buying anything that isn't ready made for fear that they may challenge their plastc world view by actually cooking something with taste and flavour . . . . If you like good quality food, want to know more about where real good food comes from, how and why it is the way it is and how to cook using real ingredients then go to your local farmer's market. With Bermondsey Farmer's Market you will be spoiled for choice.

During Christmas time, Convent Garden's Food Market is decorated beautifully and such a sight to…read moresee! The cute decor attracts tourists for a picture inside or outside of the market or at one of the red telephone booths located nearby! The market area is mostly covered by tall ceiling structures, giving a small reprieve if it's raining, but it has an open air feel. What's funny about this market is that you can find local options or favorites from back home. There's a shake shack right in the center of the market, but you can find smaller craft eateries spread around. There are also different places to get a cup of hot mulled wine or hot chocolate and you'll find the long lines for Ben's cookies nearby! If you are coming to Covent Garden via the tube, know that this tube station is a wreck! It's incredibly busy and unless you want to walk up an endless flight of stairs, you'll need to wait and pack in like sardines into the elevator.

You can get everything from vintage clothing and jewelry to artwork and records.

I always seem to find the best selection of vintage Levi's.

What a fun place to visit!…read more We spent a few hours of our london trip at the Camden Market, and what a sight to see!! They have a variety of hand-made goods, food, drinks, and more. We tried the pimms drinks for the first time, and it was wonderful. I enjoyed to Sushi Burger and OMG it was so good. They fried the salmon to perfection and ill be thinking about the meal for awhile. The views here of the river is wonderful, offering this beautiful day to be seen from all over. The only qualm I have is there isnt much seating- I struggled to find anywhere to eat other than standing - so take that into account when planning your trip. Other than that, a great time to hang with friends and try a variety of foods.

My life in London was not complete until I discovered East street. Now, I go there every Saturday…read moreand buy as much food as I can carry. Three kilos of carrots for one pound? Ten pink lady apples for one pound? A plethora of green beans for 100 pounds... haha no ONE POUND! It's just amazing. I can hardly contain myself every time I go. Besides the cheap produce, there's snacks, cereal, clothes, makeup, small electronics, CDs, stationary, shoes, dishware, it's like a one man band - East Street does it all. Also, it's a real local kind of place - no tourists here, just people going about their weekend shopping. And, I feel all down-home, banjo-strumming good when I go there. It's not exactly a wealthy part of town though (read - not at all) so if that doesn't speak to you, stick to Borough market, but I think East Street is a winner. And, all the workers in the stands are friendly. They call me 'love' and darlin' and 'sweetheart.' and it tickles me delighted, like overpriced Elmo dolls. Final grade? A+.

If you're local to East Street market there is simply no excuse not to be buying your fruit and veg…read morethere - it is just so cheap! A whole bucket of garlic for £2, 10 red onions for a pound, a whole bag of vine tomatoes also for a pound...the list goes on and on. It makes you feel stupid that you've been paying more than double the price in a supermarket for god knows how many years. And of course it has all the ethical plus points too - less or no packaging and supportive of the local community. Make sure to shop around as prices, quantities and quality vary from stall to stall, but in general it's all excellent. The market caters mostly for the locals so don't, by any means, expect a Borough market experience - there are no posh modern delis here - just simple local no frills produce. The perfect place for credit crunch shopping!

I enjoyed a quiche. My daughters enjoyed strawberries topped with Nutella. We all shared a fish and chips meal from Poppie's which I highly recommend.
