Camden
Camden is one of the most existing areas of London including six open air and indoor markets, each with a distinctive ambience and a variety of colourful shops, bars and restaurants. Camden Lock Market at the canal was initially a craft market but has now a much wider spectrum of goods on offer. The Camden Stables Market is the centre of the alternative fashion scene and the Camden Buck Street and the Inverness Street Market are specialized in local trade and are open during the whole week. From Friday to Sunday the Camden canal market opens its doors and on Sunday you can stroll over the fashion market at the Electric Ballroom. Most shops open at 10 am and are open until 6 pm; some might even stay open longer. But not only the multitude of shops attracts visitors but also the extraordinary entertainment life including theatres, bars, clubs cinemas and pubs brings Londoners and tourists alike to this amazing location.

Leadenhall Market
If you asked the Chairman of a corporate bank what his idea of a street market would be, this is it. A small, rather expensive food market; selling poultry, game, sea food, specialist cheeses, and up-market delicatessen groceries. There isn't anything exotic here, but if you want traditional English beef, pheasant or salmon, this is the right place.
Opening times:
Mo - Fr 7 am - 4 pm

Notting Hill Farmers' Market
Located in the unassuming car park behind Waterstones, this is a great market to come and wander round at the weekend. The idea behind these weekly markets is that the farmer''s sell their own foods grown or made within 100 miles of the M25, including fruit, vegetables, organic meat, dairy, free range eggs, honey, juice, bread, preserves and plants. You will find things here that supermarkets haven''t yet sourced.
Access via Kensington Place, London - west,

Columbia Road Market
A Sunday morning phenomenon. This quiet East London Street is transformed into a garden paradise once a week.
Take a bus to this small street to buy colourful plants, small trees and exotic flowers. There are 52 plant stalls and around 30 garden shops and cafes. You can buy organic cheese and breads, terracotta pots and antique garden furniture. The atmosphere is lively and people seem to be really enjoying themselves, whether they are stocking up on shrubs for their garden or just savouring a croissant in a pavement café. The market is open during every season, and is an excellent place to find rarities or bedding plants at wholesale prices. However, it can get very crowded after 10am.
Sundays from 8.00 until 14.00.
Parking Restrictions are in operation around the area, so it is advisable to come by public transport.
Buses 38 and 55 to Columbia Road.
