What is the best local market or shopping in London?
Our smart travellers say:
- Broadway Market is a great Saturday morning market with lots of organic and local products. It's just north of hackney.
- Borough Market is the best for foodies. Open on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Get there early on a Saturday (before 11am if you can) because it gets really REALLY crowded. Then you can stop off for a coffee at the Monmouth coffee shop before heading home to eat all your purchases for lunch.
- Spitalfields Market a short walk from Liverpool Street station. Lots of varied stalls and plenty of places to eat and drink.
- Portobello Market over weekends for all kinds of stuff... food, fashion, arts and crafts.
