A
London Markets
Without its lively and colorful markets, London would lose a lot of its charm(魅力). Make sure you find some time during your stay in England’s capital to have a walk around one of these places.
Borough Market
Located in southeast London, it is one of the largest food markets in the world. It sells lots of fresh and organic products, as well as homemade sweets, mushrooms, jams, breads and cheeses. It is a must on a Saturday morning for every lover of delicious food.
Portobello Road Market
This is one of the most colourful markets in London. It sells everything from books to second-hand clothing. It is especially known as a great place to look for antiques(古董).
Camden Market
This is actually several different markets. The place is considered a huge tourist attraction, so it is very busy at weekends. Different goods include antiques, clothes, household goods and furniture---in fact it has all those things you realise you need when you see them even though you didn’t plan to buy them when you left home. There are a lot of dishes on offer in the many bars and restaurants in and around the markets.
Greenwich Market
Greenwich is known for its fantastic market offering different handcrafted things, paintings and antiques. At weekends, you can get a good deal on antique furniture, second-hand books and rare records. Then, like many other people---both locals and tourists---you can finish off your market tour with a walk along the nearby river.
