those markets that must be visited in London:
Covent Garden
To talk about the open-air market in London, the first choice must be this "garden" sitting in the city center. Perhaps the reason why it is "the most lively" is that it is located in the most prosperous part of London. Most people come to Piccadilly Circus, walk to Leicester Square, and then go directly to Covent Garden. Of all the open-air markets in London, Covent Garden must be the most "convenient" to go. Covent Garden is mainly composed of Apple Market, Jubilee Market and East Colonnade Market. The vendors in the market mainly sell antiques, handicrafts, various decorations and tourist souvenirs. In addition, there are various small shops around the market, including clothes, tea sets, jewelry, toys and picture books. Of course, all kinds of food shops are also the theme here. Another attraction of Covent Garden is that it is one of the largest gathering places of street performers in London. Every day, they will present all kinds of interesting street performances for tourists. Moreover, there is an "Apple Store" which is known as the largest in Europe.

Camden Town
Personally, it should be the largest comprehensive open-air market in London, with the most variety, the most essence and the best place to go. If you visit it carefully, you will not be able to visit it all day. In addition to the most important international food streets and food shops here (I'm sure this will impress you the most …), Camden Town is also famous for its unique costumes, avant-garde culture and the trend of "rebellion", "punk" and "playing cool" among teenagers. Camden Town is mainly composed of two parts: Stables Market and Camden Lock Market. Here, there are all kinds of delicious food and retro souvenirs. Every weekend, there will definitely be a sea of people here ... If you want to explain in detail, please go to a travel note you wrote before! "retro tidal Camden Town? What do you think?

Borough Market
If you are a foodie, come here as soon as possible … this is the place where food is specially provided … of course, there is also a place to buy food. Eating goods must come! ! "Winter Fair Borough Market》Borough Market is the most complete and famous food market in London, which sells a variety of international and British local foods and is also one of the must-see food markets in London. It is located in London Bridge, London, but in fact, it may be exaggerated to say that it is a special attraction to visit, but if you "just" visit here every weekend, you must come here and have a big meal if you are hungry! In particular, don't miss the delicious food that is now cooked and sold here. In addition, if you are tired of shopping in the market, you can go to the bar opposite the door. This bar is no ordinary bar. Here, you can use the "leaky cauldron" in Harry Potter ...

Portobello Market
If the Borough Market just introduced is a paradise for foodies, then Portobello Market is a paradise for antique souvenir lovers …Portobello Market is one of the most famous and largest antique open-air markets in the world, and it is "famous". For us, it may also be because of a movie, Notting Hill, starring hugh grant and julia roberts, which was set in this lively antique market. Of course, in addition to the most important retro souvenirs, fresh vegetables, fruits and delicious food are also available. I recommend you to visit here on Saturday, and 5.3am-5.pm every Saturday is the busiest time here.

Brick Line Market
One of the most important open-air markets in East London, the most distinctive and lively is its Sunday food street and flea market. But personally, I think that if you fight for food, you can't fight for Borough Market, and if you fight for antique souvenirs, it's not as distinctive as Portobello Market ... But the whole vicinity of Liverpool Street is another artists' distribution center in London besides Covent Garden. In addition to the lively market on Sunday, there are graffiti works by folk artists everywhere. Personally, I think it is very suitable for students who love photography to come to the street to shoot. Of course, for other students, the most important task of coming here on Sunday is to enjoy the "food street" here!

Spitalfields Market
Spitalfields Market is next to the Brick Line Market just introduced, and the two can go shopping together. Founded in 1887, it is also one of the most important markets in East London. At first, it was a fresh fruit wholesale market, and later it gradually became a modern comprehensive market, mainly famous for its creative handicrafts and retro souvenirs. Every Sunday, it will be covered with all kinds of pavements. Like Brick Line Market, I recommend you to go on Sundays.
