Innovative sign that shows the different market areas
My favourite lunch place in London is not a café, it’s not a restaurant and it’s not at home… It’s Borough market!
You’ll find whatever you’re looking for here, all wrapped in good, old market environments. Such as…
…Turkish delights…
…chocolate…
…and lots of people looking to find today’s lunch or dinner meal.
We found our lunch; french toast with raclette cheese and wheatgrass juice.
Dig in! :)
While the sun was shining in London on Saturday, Aina (a friend of mine) and me decided to go to the popular Camden Market to look at strange goods, funny shops and interesting people.
Cute shop
A brief description of Camden Market, taken from Wikipedia:
The Camden Markets are a number of adjoining large markets in Camden Town near the Hampstead Road Lock of the Regent’s Canal (which is usually called Camden Lock), often called collectively “Camden Market” or “Camden Lock”. The stalls sell crafts, clothing, bric-a-brac, fast food, and other things. It is the fourth most popular visitor attraction in London, attracting approximately 100,000 people each weekend. A small local food market has operated in Inverness Street since the beginning of the twentieth century (this market lost stalls as local supermarkets opened; as of 2010 this market retains only three fruit and vegetable stalls, which do not open on Sundays, in addition to stalls like those in the other markets). In 1974 a weekly crafts market held every Sunday near Camden Lock was started; a large complex of markets grew from this small beginning. The markets have a mixture of temporary stalls and fixed premises.
The market is full of cute little things, tastes and views. Here are some of the things that we won’t forget:
Scrabble rings? Find a word with ten letters…
The cupcake icing probably looks better than it tastes.
London Calling!
Hi there! I’m a Russian doll, or, actually, I’m a bit confused, am I a pillow?
Aina fell in love with these rose rings.
Want a fish massage? (I have a feeling that these little creepy ones bite you, and it may tickle?)
A flying pig.
Hope your weekend was full of peculiar things like this as well…
