London, United Kingdom

This entry will be about the markets I visit. As I go along, I will just keep adding them to this same entry.

First, I should let you know, that going to the market has become a weekly ritual, with Tonia (fellow Canadian teacher from Ont.)

We are exploring different things.

-Portobello road market: A massive market with lots of finds from clothing, gifts, antiques and food. Very busy, but I love the feel, even if it is touristy.

-Camden Lock market: not quite as cool as we thought it would be. It poured rain, which didn’t help, AND we made a bad food choice, giving into our hunger before fully scouting out the market to find the best food (although my churro was delicious! it would have been really nice to eat some of the vietnamese food instead of the mediocre mexican food we had)

-The Real Food Market (South Bank): not much of a food market, there were not too many stalls. Food was good, but nothing special.

-Greenwich market: My favourite so far!! Artisanal crafts and food. If you go, you must stop by the Ethiopian stall. For 6 quid, you get a massive amount of food, which is absolutely delicious. I am drooling just thinking about it! There was also a potentially good gelato place (too full to try more than a sample) and then the chocolates!! Hand made, hand brushed. DELICIOUS!!! When any of you come to visit me, we will go here.
