Here we are this week once again exploring markets in London.
The market I am writing about has a really special place in my heart...
It is probably the first market I have ever visited when I moved to London, moreover it has been the first market I worked at. I am talking about Greenwich Market.
Located in SE10, it offers a large variety of products such as art and crafts, militaria, vintage clothes, accessosries and hand-made old fashioned toys.
In addition to all the above, a big part of this market is street food.
The area of the market is developed on a covered square surrounded by shops, where the stalls in the north side are selling food, while the ones on the south side are dedicated to art and crafts. Due to the increase of demand for street food and the recent roof's restoration, a new area has been opened on the west side, where mainly you can find hot food, while cold food and drinks remain on the north side. This can be subject to changes depending on the days of the week or for logistic reasons.
This market is ideal for a picnic thanks to its beautiful location by the Royal park of Greenwich. It becomes really busy during weekends and in summer time with a lot of tourists looking for a tasty snack or buying an original souvenir after a visit at the Greenwich Observatory.
Greenwich market is closed only on Mondays, however it remains open every day during summer time and special occasions. The market has now become a must-see for a visit in Greenwich. The royal borough is worth a visit because of numerous good restaurants and sights of interest such as the Cutty Sark, the famous Observatory and the Maritime Museum.
And for those who love cooking, I suggest taking a look at the accessories and tools for your kitchen and your home: some of them are really different and can be customised to your preference.
You must be curious enough by now so I don't want to add anything else........see you at Greenwich Market!
