Portobello Market <\/span><\/h2>\n

For much of the 18th and 19th centuries, <\/span>Portobello Road<\/span><\/a> was a quiet country lane that served as a connection between Notting Hill and Kensal Green. As the wealthy population grew, the area blossomed into a collection of boutique shops and market-style eateries. Today, the market stretches over two miles through London\u2019s West End, and it is known as the largest antique market in the UK. Seasoned antiquers arrive early on Saturday morning to view the market\u2019s newest collection, and finish their day with a pint in one of Portobello Road\u2019s many quaint restaurants or pubs. <\/span><\/p>\n

Camden Market <\/span><\/h2>\n

The Camden Market, also known as Camden Lock, is the fourth-most popular visitor attraction in London. Approximately 250,000 people peruse its 1,000 plus shops, stalls, and cafes each week in search of cutting-edge fashion and delicious treats. The eclectic mix of shops and restaurants offers travelers a full day\u2019s worth of activity, so visitors are suggested to arrive early. <\/span><\/p>\n

Borough Market <\/span><\/h2>\n

As one of the largest and oldest food markets in London, Borough Market has become a popular destination for locals and tourists alike. In the 20th century, Borough served as a wholesale market, selling produce in quantity to grocers and merchants. Today, the market sells specialty foods to the general public and has established itself as one of the foremost foodie havens of England. <\/span><\/p>\n

Columbia Road Flower Market <\/span><\/h2>\n

This magical market is a shutter-happy tourist\u2019s dream, as it displays the city in full bloom. Come early for the coffee, and stay for a look at London\u2019s most lovely and delicate flowers. The Columbia Road Flower Market offers the perfect \u201cSunday Funday\u201d with an array of cheeses, garden accessories, and unexpected international treats. <\/span><\/p>\n
