Here is what we recommend:
|
Borough Market
Arrive early on a Saturday morning to experience the bustle of this foodies' paradise. Don't try the first food stall you see despite it smelling incredible, they all do! Try to get back here a couple times during your stay to sample all the incredible British and international foods on offer. Our favourite stand is La Tua Pasta for incredible fresh pasta with your chosen sauce - go for pumpkin or wild boar tortellini with just olive oil, you'll thank us! Tube stop: London Bridge Camden Market A wild, jostling crowd on the weekend, this part of town is worth a visit at any time. You'll find handmade souvenirs for those left back home, eclectic textiles and accessories and not to forget the food stalls. Grab a bite sitting on the water's edge gazing out at all the comings and goings on the canal - you'll appreciate the people-watching fodder! Tube stop: Camden Town Maltby Street Market Food, drinks and some antiquing here in this ever increasingly popular street market. Get there early afternoon as the stalls close up shop around 4pm, or when the food and drink run out. We recommend ending your evening in Bar Tozino for Spanish wine and tapas. Tube stop: London Bridge or Bermondsey |
