    This video is an absolute treasure trove for food enthusiasts and market lovers alike! Exploring the 10 best food markets around London, it offers a tantalizing glimpse into the diverse culinary scene of the city. From the iconic Borough Market to the vibrant Portobello Road and Greenwich Market, each destination promises a culinary adventure filled with international street food and local delicacies.
    I particularly appreciate the inclusion of lesser-known gems, such as dining in a church or by a railway, which adds a unique charm to the dining experience. The variety of settings, from bustling streets to serene green spaces, ensures that there's something for everyone to enjoy.
    The video not only showcases the mouthwatering bites available but also provides valuable tips on how to make the most of your time at London's bustling markets. Whether you're a local looking for new culinary delights or a visitor eager to explore the city's vibrant food scene, this video is your ultimate guide to experiencing the best of London's markets. Bon appétit and happy exploring! 🍽🛍🇬🇧

    Living in London for more than 4 years and I found that I have not visited many of the markets in this video! I have a lot of catching up to do... BUT I do want to add to the list some of my favourites which are missing: Apple Market in Covent Garden and Canopy Market in Kings Cross (also nearby Coal Drop Yards which is kind of markety too?)

    Hello Suitcase
    Love the video. We have been to all the markets you listed. Rope walk market was just a shell of its self when we visited in September do to Covid so it is still on our to visit list and are adding Mercato Mayfair market. Borough market is our favorite market we go there every time we come to London. Everyone who is coming to London should visit these markets. Thanks for a great video. Chris and Sandra of Canada.

    Thank you so much for your local market info. We went to Westborough mkt and LOVED it!! We could’ve spent so much money there. We went to your suggestion of Olivier Bakery and also Rabot Chocolate and spent a bit at both. We spent one day on our own in London and when we met up with our tour guide later in the evening to check in to start our tour we told him where we have been and he asked how we knew about the market and we told him it was all thanks to you. We will always watch you now for our trips abroad.

    I've seen "Notting Hill" and "Bridget Jones' Diary" before, and so I get the concepts of their respective markets! I even learned from the web that The Globe Tavern is the pub above which Bridget Jones' "flat" was filmed!
    Also, I had already heard of Seven Dials from Samuel and Audrey's 24-hour travel guide to London, but I did NOT know about Seven Dials MARKET until I watched THIS video tonight. (The market didn't open until 2019; Samuel and Audrey released their 24-hour travel guides in 2018.)
    I also read on Wikipedia that Petticoat Lane Market, a market in Spitalfields, is where the video for the 1980s hit "West End Girls," by Pet Shop Boys, was filmed.

    By far the best food market in London is Leather Lane, but its only open on weekdays for the workers. Also petticoat lane is an honourable mention

  • @worigami
    @worigami 9 місяців тому

    Nice review and a couple I hadn't heard of but will explore. I am a Londoner who now lives in Yorkshire but work near Liverpool St a few days each month.
    Spitalfields is a good call, bustling at a lunchtime and expect big queues for the popular places. Petticoat Lane has some great food stalls too and minutes away from there. The falafel stall, one of three, at the end with the longest queue is well recommended. Spitalfields comes alive late morning and is very quiet from 4pm.
    We always pay a visit to Portabello Road as there's a bit to see other than the food stalls, some shops and quirky pubs. Camden used to be a favourite but less so in recent years as it's become more commercialised. I remember visits to Prince's shop and having a drink in the café upstairs. I remember the old Camden, pre-market fire and I guess it doesn't have the same allure any more. Still worth a visit for anyone new and will keep people busy for hours.
    Borough market is well worth a visit too. We often take a walk along the south bank, cross at Southwark bridge or the bendy bridge and then walk through past the Clink etc onto Borough market. Depending when you go a lot of stalls will close quite early but there will still be places to be found. Nice to finish off with a gelato at Gelateria 3BIS, amazing.

    I had the span of one week to explore London's markets - and I did not get a third of your suggestions. The pop-up markets are closing at late afternoon and if you have schedules because of pre-booked attractions, you won't be able to get a taste of all of them. But it's still fun and fascinating what's on all these markets.

Having said that, on 12:27 you say: "the sellers of the food here and the producers of the same food, like the fishermen..." That's a romantic tourist vision but really naife... Can you imagine a fisherman all day awake to catch the fish and 8h working in the market selling it? 😅
