Issue 37 / MAR-APR 2012 We picked ten of the top markets to visit in London if your stuck for something to do and fancy a change.. 1 Camden Market Camden attracts enormous crowds, so you might have to fight your way through but it will be worth it! Our only caveat: they tend to jack up the prices, so be sure to put your game face on and don't be afraid to try to barter a little, most of the time you'll be able to bring the price down at least a few quid. 2 3 Sunday Up Market Located in the Old Truman Brewery on Han- bury Street in Shoreditch, you'll find one of the coolest markets in all of Londontown. This market, unlike so many others, isn't swarming with tourists. Known just as much for it's food as for its bespoke items, at Up Market you'll find cuisine from every corner of the globe. Brixton The market as you'd expect is a little rough round the edges but forms the beating heart of Brixton. With new trendy shops and eater- ies like the Honest Burger to rival the best in London, it seems to have secured its long term future. Check late night Thursdays and the Saturday Festivals. 4 5 Brick Lane From boot-sale to boutique fashion, Brick Lane Market spills over into side streets and the shops. Grab a beigel from either of the outlets at Bethnal Green Road, or select from vast array of food stalls.Brick Lane is a melt- ing pot that truly reflects London's cultural diversity. Borough London's finest foodie destination, Borough Market bursts with vibrant colours and smells. This really is a mecca for chefs, amateur and professional alike. Borough Market is com- paratively small by London standards, but every inch of space is packed with something delicious. 6 7 Spitalfields Just a stone's throw from Liverpool Street station you'll find one of the best markets for vintage goods. Oh, and as an added incentive: Last week we found a leather jacket for five pound...Boom! But seriously, go here. Spital- fields: where the jacket of your dreams costs less than a drink at Fabric. Broadway Market Located in Hackney, this is the mother of all markets. Every Saturday the streets are crammed with amazing food stalls and vin- tage bargains. For real foodies this is a must visit, with a variety of tastes and cultures this vibrant market offers great prices on quality food. 8 Portobello Road Yes, it's over run with tourists. Yes, most of them are desperate women who think they're in a scene out of 'Notting Hill' and at any min- ute, Hugh Grant will come strolling down the street. But, it's also the best place for antique shopping in all of London. It's totally worth it. 9 EUROPE'S TALLEST WINGED ROLLERCOASTER DRINK The drinks menu is reasonably priced, offering the basics from bottled beer, wine, spirits, shots and soft drinks.
