7 London Markets to Visit (you never heard of) | Ad | Love and London

- Borough Market is London’s most famous market, and yes it’s fantastic and has so much history, but there are plenty of other markets in London that locals love and that are just as great (and less crowded!) In this video I’m sharing eight Londoner-loved markets that are worth a visit to, whether it’s your first time visiting London or you’ve been here many times before.
Many of these London markets are hidden gems that tourists don’t usually read about. Some of them are centrally located to some of the major London attractions, but many of them require you to venture off the boring, beaten path, because well, that’s where you always find the best stuff when you travel. A few of these London markets have special places in my heart, and I think you’ll find one for yourself too.
This video is sponsored by Bimble, a new app that is great for saving your favourite places, and the gems you want to go to as you think about your post-lockdown travel plans. It’s really easy to use and you can share your lists with your travel buddies or friends.
I’ve made a Bimble list with all of the London markets mentioned in this video, so you always have them and you can easily save your favourites to your own list.
You can see the list by downloading the free Bimble app on iOS or use bit.ly/love-and-london-home
The London Markets list is on my Bimble profile: bit.ly/love-and-london
*All footage was filmed pre-lockdown, obviously!

About Love and London:
I'm Jess, I've lived in London for many years, and this channel is a London travel guide for anyone visiting the city that wants to experience it like you live here. Beyond talking about the usual London attractions, I show you some of the cooler things to do in London, that most travel guides don't mention. Watch my videos and you'll feel like you've got a Londoner friend telling you the best kept secrets in the city.
Jess - Thanks for making these wonderful vlogs about my hometown city of London! I am from Islington, but based in New Jersey! It's about time to head home soon!Keep up the good work!😎🇬🇧
Bimble actually sounds super useful, especially now as I’m trying to keep myself sane and think about all the potential places I can go when this all blows over. Loved this video as always
Yeah definitely, I think we're all coming across recommendations the next couple of months so it's an easy way to store them all for when you're ready to travel again. Thanks for watching Lauren
Wow... !!! My best friend, Loved this video. Looking forward to see more. Awesome... Full watched.
So happy to see new videos I'm planning a revisit to the UK after all of this crazy ... thanks for showing new place's to go and my favorite city in the world
Thanks so much for watching Raymond, glad you liked it
Good stuff Jess; Bimble looks to be a way cool platform. The profile and its content look great! Keep up the good work.
Thanks so much for watching and commenting Dave!
Love all these markets, especially Victoria Park and Broadway market! I used to live in the area when I was in uni and it's lovely in a local location and everyone has their dogs out haha
Ah no way. It really is so lovely and very underutilised by tourists. Haha love the dogs too
Another great episode Jess thanks! The ropewalk thing to clarify The longer the ropewalk the longer the length of rope that can be made> I think that this still holds true today. I know it's way out of London but there is a working roperary in Chatham historic dockyard . The rope walk is covered and very long they used to use bikes to get from one end to the other. It's over 200 years and the rigging for the Victory was made there (as was the Victory)
Great video Jess. I'm hopefully going back to London this fall and I want to definitely check out some of these markets. Your videos are a big reason why I'm getting addicted to London....lol
I think my London addiction is wearing off on you barry. Thanks so much for watching.
Really valuable suggestions. Almost none of the other tour guides answer this question about diverse and unusual shops and attractions.
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching Scott!
Love this video. Will definitely take these options into account on my next trip!
Thanks Michelle! Thanks for watching
Re-planning our trip. Thanks for this vid. Keep your chin up and stay safe!
Glad to hear you'll be over here!
So useful ! Before finding out about your channel, I had been to London once, but as I didn´t know any of the places that you show us in your videos, I kinda did not make the most of it. My next trip will be much more exciting thanks to you.
Aw thank you Lucien! Glad you're finding everything helpful :)
Love your videos. Started watching you when I was notified of my new job at Northampton. Moving from Florida to here (the UK) was a huge change. You have excellent communication skills paired with a beautiful face lol. Hails!!!
Thanks so much Rigo!
love this channel xx
Aw thank you so much Charlotte, that's very kind of you to say
Live your videos and will use when back in london. Love your style
So glad to hear it, thank you so much ❤️
I don't live far from London and haven't heard of some of these. You know you stuff, well done.
Hope you get to visit and enjoy some soon! Thanks for watching

I love London

Hi, Jess, another very useful and interesting video. Bimble sounds very useful as well. This video reminds us of the days when people went out before lockdown started. I must add how much I enjoyed Saturday's quiz. I hope you do another. I was going to donate £10 during that but unfortunately I had an arguement with my password and the password won so I couldn't process the transaction so I will buy the colouring book instead. Anyone who didnt get the email ask Jess about the colouring book. Looking forward to your next video soon.
Aw thank you so much Stephen, I alway appreciate your kind words and support.
I found the Vinegar Yard last year, it was amazing ! I happened upon it accidentally haha didn’t disappoint!!l had some great food and there was live music playing at the time 💕
That's great!! Thanks for watching :)
Thanks for the 'Bimble' heads up. I always save my places of interest in my Notes on my phone but then they end up getting lost amongst all the other stuff. Bimble will be perfect as I always find interesting places around London that I always want to go back and visit later.
Yes exactly, glad you liked it Norman! Thanks for watching
Good one
I appreciate your clear commentary .
Very helpful to visitors.
Lovely London

La Ferme: in French an E at the very end of a word is never pronounced, unless there is an accent on it, É or È.
(Indeed a lot of terminal letters aren’t pronounced... 🙄)
Ferme (“farm”): [ferm]. Fermé (“closed”): [fermay].
Thanks for watching Frank!
Very interesting video 🤘🤘🤘🤘

Missing London😍Came back home in India for vacation and couldn't travel back due to lockdown 😬
We're all missing it, even the ones still in London :)
Can you please do an overview of Crystal Palace in south London, very overlooked area with a great park, (the one with all the dinosaurs and stuff)
Sadly, I don't think we'll be able to film videos like that for a while. This video we were able to do because we had all of the footage already.
Love and London Ah ok, I mean like after the lockdown? Out of interest have you been there before
Loveeed this video, I'll definitely check out Broadway Market next time I'm in lovely London. Cannot download Bimble since my phone runs Android, any idea if they're planning to launch the app for other operating systems as well? Thanks, keep up the great work! 💪
Yes they are! You can still sign up and use it via mobile browser/desktop. Thanks for watching Maru!
Awesome, thanks!
Lived in the UK 62 years and wasn;'t aware of some of these - the food looks great - as plant based eater always on the lookout for good Vegan cheeses
Thanks for watching!
Looking forward to a trip to London in April and hope to cover the markets we missed last time. Unfortunately I am having trouble with the app you mentioned. I cannot find it on my iPhone and it keeps thinking I'm asking for 'Bumble"!!
They shut down last year! Have a look at our guides instead :) shop.loveandlondon.com ❤️❤️
❤️❤️
Hi ! Thanks & Love U.K LONDON
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for your great video.
I will appreciate if you tell me which market is more crowded?! I want to rent a stall.
Thank you
Get in touch with each one to find out footfall :)
thanks
Thanks for watching Ossi!
Good
Hello, which are the markets where I can find typical English food? Is the payment in cash or can it also be with a debit/credit card?
depends on what you're looking for specifically, and part of the beauty of London markets is the huge mix of cuisines you'll find. Most markets stalls these days take card, I don't ever really have cash on me and never have a problem!
Hi,i am Prabhjeet from India,visiting London on the 25th May. with my family. I am really very fond of your videos.They are so very helpful and practical. can you please suggest the most economical way to reach Novotel Waterloo from Gatwick airport. Thank you.
Citymapper will tell you options 👍
Hey Jess: Where would you go to buy art; specifically scenes of London, nothing too expensive, small pieces of art? Thanks!
Markets are good for that, like many of the ones mentioned in this video.
@@loveandlondon Thanks Jess!
👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤️
Thanks for watching Robert!
I would love to get Bimble, but I'm android. Is there an alternative?
They're working on Android! And you can also use it via their website.
Still no android app 😢
Thank you dear Jess ! May I ask you if it is possible to pay by card at the markets or do they prefer cash ?
Card is widely accepted!
@@loveandlondon❤Thanks a lot ! 🇬🇧
Hi! I can’t find the Leather day market on google maps. How can I find it?
It's called Leather Lane Market :) It's on Leather lane.
@@loveandlondon thank you so much!
@@loveandlondon I was searching the wrong name lol
No Notting Hill recommendation?
You’ve missed a few. Mercato metrepolitano in Borough and Tooting Broadway Market are some of the best markets I’ve been to
Two for another video
@@loveandlondon Don't forget Greenwich Market(s)!
HiJess. Do you have dual citizenship now you've stay so long in London.
How cool to have lived in two great cities 😀
Nope, I have permanent residence visa now!
@@loveandlondon Great news ! hopefully I'll catch plenty more of your blogs. because I thought you might be heading back home.
Mind you.....you won't be a ture Brit until you like Cricket & Marmite. 🤣
Hi.....I'm new here and I try to learn English,......only one question, for Jess of course but also for anyone who wants respond me,......is it better watching videos with subs or without? and if it's so, ...... is better starting with own mother-tongue subs or ..... directly English subs?.......I hope someone reply to me.
I'm from India ...I want to go to some good market in London ...I'm now in london today and tomorrow
Have a great time!
Is the exmouth market the same as the excel market?
Not sure what the excel market is, never heard of it :)
Strange.. it was on its video last section at 8:52
🤣
Nothing on either of Tooting's markets....gutted!
Good market but we weren't able to go film there :)
@@loveandlondon Yeah, not the best time for filming new footage. Thanks for keeping people interested in London, your videos are always welcome.
Thank you so much!
When world travel resumes.
Yup, you'll have all of the info you need
Very nice information ma'am thanks
