Junk, the remains of something that has been destroyed or broken up [syn: debris, dust, rubble,…read moredetritus] Shop, a mercantile establishment for the retail sale of goods or services; "he bought it at a shop on Cape Cod" [syn: store] Basically this is a place where you can purchase nonsense that you didn't even want or realise you needed. It's also a little bit amazing! Run by 2 old geezers Alice S is right, there is a ramshackle collection of stuff the you just wouldn't put together, Actually if you are in the business for a bargain you may find one here, I can't put a name on what they sell but there is a huge collection of nonsense to browse. Seriously, It's a lovely place, go visit!

The Junk Shop is an Aladdin's cave of rubbish/treasure on Greenwich South Street. The stock varies from biographies and historical artifacts (mainly right wing paraphernalia- a Daily Mail series on the modern monarchy, an enormous hardback on the Third Reich and a Thatcher biography) Amongst all the military-themed bits of tat, there are actually some very good finds- there were some cool old 1950s Christmas cards, some 1960s newspapers in excellent condition and some beautiful vintage postcards. It is a funny old place but definitely worth a rummage through.

Every Saturday and Sunday, loads of stuff from £2 grab boxes full of stuff (I got a totally decent…read morepair of cufflinks for £4...) to properly sorted vintage clothes. There's even a bit of stuff for blokes, and at reasonable prices, too. Worth a trip out every now and then-- it's a bit hit or miss, as these things always are, but it's off the beaten track enough that you're likely to find some nice stuff.

The clock tower market has really come into its own over the last few years. But this isn't…read morenecessarily a good thing. It's doing well because the main outdoor market was closed down, and the stall vendors have either moved here, or to another market in London. Brick Lane is picking up a lot of them. Until a year ago, I wouldn't even bother walking around this place, it just wasn't worth the time. And then something happened. I'd go by on the bus and see a few vintage handbags out of the window, I'd spy some decent china instead of the rubbish that used to be there, and before I knew it I was being hidden be four market girls while I undressed in the middle of Greenwich to try on a vintage ball gown. I didn't buy it. And it was cold. I popped there at the weekend to help a male friend do some shopping, everyone was friendly, the stock was good and we left with very excellent bargains. There will always be something about a free bowtie that will brighten your day. If you've ever strolled by and thought there wasn't much here, do take another look. It might not get the same attention as the indoor market, but the guys here stock some good stuff.

After reading at Londonist…read more(http://londonist.com/2013/06/marc-gooderhams-paintings-of-londons-east-end.php) about a little exhibition at Townhouse Antiques near Spitalfields Market, I decided to take the journey from west to east and take a look myself. I enjoyed the paintings of London houses and streets by artist Marc Gooderham (http://www.marcgooderham.co.uk/). He focuses, in his words, on "the singular beauty to be found in those neglected buildings that have fallen into disrepair as the living city of London continues to evolve around them." While I was contemplating over the paintings and browsing the books on display, another guy with a cute dog, who also visited this exhibition space, took to the piano that was standing in one corner. His play made me stay a bit longer and I like this place even more. Besides showing inspiring London paintings, Townhouse Antiques also sells books and various other stuff. Randomly, one book caught my attention: One Lump or Two? - a book about tea filled with illustrations by British artist Edward Bawden and a "series of humorous limericks for Twinings Tea". It looks like a fun "essentially British" present. Although I do not know what exhibition is on at Townhouse Antiques at the moment, I was told that almost always something is on display. If you have never been to Townhouse Antiques, you should probably stop by when you are in the area, I am sure it will be worth the visit!

Disclaimer that I did NOT get up at ass-o'clock or whatever to go to this market. We got there at…read morelike 9am because I was on VACATION thank you very much. So maybe getting up at 4am is the best, as visiting at 9am (A REASONABLE HOUR, THANK YOU) meant that that Square was perhaps 1/2 full of stalls. Maybe the early bird does indeed, catch the worm but I shall never know. Anyway, this Market happens on Friday AM's. There are stalls selling acres of china, silver cutlery, lace and that one stall that sells royal commemorative tat that I salivate over. Not much furniture, mostly small collectible things. There's also a food stall or two, plus a nearby (slightly ghetto) Sainsbury's.

I found the place enormous and we did not need to go that early in the morning! Years passed by and I wanted to go again, I did not know why I let time pass so much! I could not believe what I saw, I thought I was mistaken but I was not, the place had shrunk, it is not even half of what it used to be! I got there by 10.00am and they were already packing up. I talked to one of the guys who had a stall and told me that I was in the right place, that the Council had bought part of the land to developers and the market had shrunk enormously. I found it very sad.
