Shopping in London: visiting London markets

Visiting London on Sunday will be fine to go to all the markets.

Camden
London doesn’t have a ‘day of rest’ as such and Camden will definitely be lively. Camden market on Saturday will be rammed – the tube only lets people get off at Camden then and not back on to get away. There are also lots of eating stuff there too. Camden Market is one of London’s top attractions. It’s a young place, but somehow seems to bring out the youngster in everyone. Virtually everything is on sale here, clothing, music, antiques (though this sector is shrinking – not a patch on Paris’ St Ouen Marche aux Puces), collectibles, ethnic art, rugs and kelims, food and drink. It does tend to get a bit crowded on Sundays, and you could think yourself back in the swinging sixties, it has such high sales it’s ow the UK’s 4th biggest retailer. As a matter of fact that’s a must on your stop in London because if you want to get a few more things. Also, the food there is great and there is a Starbucks right across the bridge if you’re missing home.
