Markets to visit London

This historic market, just next to the DLR station, has existed for more than three centuries. In the three sections gathered, you can buy food, antiques, vintage and trendy clothes, furniture, ethnic accessories... Around the market, many restaurants and bars allow you to stop for a drink or a snack, just to take a break. It is a lively and animated place, with a village market atmosphere. A must stop for lunch when visiting Greenwich.

The magnificent colorful structure housing the UK's largest wholesale meat market was renovated a few years ago after long and heated debate. If you're a meat lover, you'll have to come at around 7am to see the market in full swing: meat, poultry, wholesale game... All in a typical, noisy and bustling atmosphere! Guided tours are available on reservation. There has been a market on the site for over 800 years. Today's market has been extensively modernized. A great local experience.

These magnificent market halls date back to the ^14th century. More than just a place to shop, it's a real monument to be visited, as it's one of London's oldest markets. In the ^19th century, the stone building was replaced by a magnificent arcaded structure combining wrought iron and glass, giving a unique atmosphere to the market, which is now spacious and bright. Stroll through the aisles and stores and take a break in one of the charming little cafés. For the curious, the market was the setting for the first Harry Potter film.

One of London's oldest markets, resurrected today to offer fresh, organic and quality products.

After a morning of shopping, let yourself be tempted by a short break in one of the many bars in the district. Good plan for the mornings, some stands open before 9am.
