London Markets



London is a place, a city, a world like no other. A city with stories from long ago. Alot of us Canadians have English ancestry and we all want to feel that our culture comes somewhat from England. To be in one place where you can meet someone from almost every country in the world, is a very unique place. Makes the world feel small, come together and share the same eyes.


The markets in London are absolutely enthralling.  The food, the art, the people. You can head to one end of town and taste something you have never heard of before and later that day see something you have never seen before. It inspires you to learn and speak to people from a place that is not like home. Bringing home fond memories, new friends and new culture.

 
On a Sunday you can head to Liverpool Street station and hit 5 different markets within a few hours.

My months spent in London I only covered a handfull.

.BROADWAY MARKET.
Located in East Londons Hackney


The glory of cheap vintage finds

Always love the Swedish sisters selling Lax

Swedish clogs make their stomp around the globe


A  box of Chanterelles is better then a box of chocolates

 
           
Many musicians play drawing you in close for a listen
            
The folk of the market

.BOROUGH MARKET.
a charming food market located at London Bridge


In my dreams you are waiting for me when I wake up

Well hung

English water get your veggie and fruit fix while at it

Half that cheese pile gets loaded on your grill cheese :)

                   .SPITALFIELDS.
 offering cutting edge fashion and interiors, original artwork and as well as food
First becoming a market in 1638 hard to imagine people have been shopping on these grounds for over 300 years. Old Spitalfields market has an amazing array of art, jewelry, food, antiques and clothing. Its covered roof top makes it great for the gloomy raining days in London.
