Markets in London

The most beautiful markets in London
Borough Market
An institution. The Borough Market is one of the markets of a special kind in the world metropolis of London. Around 130 stalls await the gourmet visitor in the halls of the market, which has been around since the 13th century. Dozens of cheeses, wine, vinegar, spices and the best that the former Commonwealth and the rest of the world have to offer - it's all here. So it's no wonder that England's best-known chefs buy the dishes here that they later process in the best restaurants in town. But you can also try a lot on site, whether it's Indian curry or Eastern European roast wild boar. The market has long offered free Wi-Fi and you can stop with a cup of coffee in hand to rest somewhere between purchases and check your social contacts, favorite applications, check how securities are traded, stock indexes, check reviews of bookmakers for sports betting on noriskmatchedbetting.co.uk, bet and even win. London connoisseurs count this market among the best in the city in terms of culinary delights - and Harry Potter and Bridget have also discovered the charm of the market: Some scenes from the famous films were shown in the streets around the Borough Market.
Broadway Market
The Broadway Market In the East End, the inclined London visitor should only visit on an empty stomach. If there is such a thing as a delicious street food lover's paradise, this is it. Whether African or Oriental - chefs from all over the world have settled here and offer their dishes. The variety not only offers something for the palate, but also for the eyes. Colorful vegetable arrangements, spices, stimulating decorations and various scents create a unique mixture here. All of this appeals to the market visitor and is extremely appetizing. But a visit is also worthwhile on a full stomach: Here, stand operators also offer selected vintage clothes, all kinds of jewelry, handicrafts and local products. Record lovers will also get their money's worth, because one or the other stand still sells the old vinyl records! The meeting of different cultures offers an interesting mixture for the London visitor. Also because the market is still very authentic and tourists tend to be a minority. The Broadway Market is an open-air market, so you should prefer the good weather days.

Brick Lane Market
One of the most beautiful markets in the British capital is certainly the Brick Lane Market. The street market located in the district of the same name developed in 2000 and takes place every Sunday. The quarter exudes a natural shabby chic and with a colorful mixture of street vendors, food stalls and fancy shops attracts tens of thousands of people to stroll and hunt for bargains. During a tour of Brick Lane Market, you should definitely take a look at the buildings of the former Old Truman Brewery. In the halls, which have been vacant since the brewery was closed in 1989, there are numerous specialty markets, such as the Vintage Market and the Backyard Market. International delicacies are offered to you at around 50 stalls at the Upmarket Street Food Market at moderate prices.

Maltby Street Market
The attractive food market Maltby Street Market takes place every weekend near Tower Bridge held in the so-called Ropewalk. Incidentally, the historic street name refers to a rope factory located nearby in the 18th century, which gives the street event an additional nostalgic flair. One booth after the other is comfortably lined up in the narrow alley. The market started with a few stalls in 2010, but quickly grew in popularity. In the meantime, around 50 to 70 stands offer an extremely diverse range of food. Here everyone will find something for their individual palate, from home-style cooking and fast food, to vegetarian dishes, to wine, coffee and cake specialties. The cozy market is not so well known among tourists so far, so it can be seen as a small insider tip for London travelers.
Alfies Antique Market
Visiting the Alfies Antique Marketis an entertaining journey through time into the world of grandparents and great-grandparents. For over 40 years, this traditional antique market has been a popular point of contact for everyone who enjoys furniture, accessories, books and everyday objects from bygone times. If you want to take home a typically British souvenir from your London trip, you will certainly find it here. The indoor market extends over four floors in a large building in the Marylebone neighborhood. Around 100 dealers offer not only exquisite pieces at high prices, but also many objects from the interface between junk and antiques, for which you can negotiate very reasonable prices. A lot of fun is not only the brief rummaging in the past, but also the atmosphere itself.

Greenwich Market
It is the oldest and one of the most popular markets in London: Greenwich Market, which is located in the district of the same name in south-east London. Paving stone on the floor and the historic entrance arches bear witness to the tradition of the market square, which has even been included in the world cultural heritage. This is not the only reason why it is always worth a visit. Because the covered market attracts with a colorful mix of everything your heart desires: Local artists put wonderful prints, photographs and sculptures for sale and local artisans put their individual goods on. Women in particular can let off steam when it comes to cosmetics and look forward to boutiques and the integrated designer market. The Greenwich's range is rounded off with good wine and delicious food in the bars, cafes and restaurants.
