LONDON VISIT

London, London, London....maybe one of the most notorious place for shopping in the world. Regent, Carnaby, Bond and New Bond Streets are always full of hordes of people walking up and down the roads, looking at big brand' s shoop-windows like Yves Saint Lauren, Gucci or Adidas...but, I think, there is an other side of this metropolis that, in a different way, can satisfy this thirst for shopping, I' m talking about Markets. I would like to suggest you to visit one of those: Portobello, Spitalfiels, Camden or Borough market.

PORTOBELLO MARKET

Located in one of the most beatiful area of London, Portobello Road goes staight through the heart of Notting Hill. There are several different sections in this market; you can find antiques, food (in particulary vegetables and fruits) and fashion. It takes place only on saturday and generally is full of people.

SPITALFIELDS MARKET

Close to Liverpool St tube station, you have the chance to escape from the cloned high street and be bone up on a creative, colorful world. Artistic people go there to express themself with clothes, accessories, jowels, paintings... that are, in most of cases, hand-made. Walking around the different stends you can feel the atmosphere full of life and music! This market is open from thursday to sunday that is the busyest day.

CAMDEN MARKET

This is the most popular open-air market in London, situated in North-West. It' s a sea of entretainment, streets are populated by exravagant people, stands are full of strange things, every kind of things... Even the setting is amazing, with its canal flowing in the middle. After 10 o'clock pm, when the market finishes, the night life starts: pubs, theatres, clubs and restaurant open the door end then....you have to go there to see what happens!

BOROUGH MARKET

It is the London's oldest food market, born on the south bank of the Thames 250 years ago. Traders don't want to broke the tradition of genuine food, they believe that everyone has a right to eat well, that's why there you can buy genuine, excellent aliments. Maybe just for curiosity or maybe plod by the idea of a great dinner, you have to go there.
