I 'found' this over the weekend and I loved it, although I am reliably informed by my friend who…read moreused to live in Tooting (5 or so years ago) that it has changed. It does have a very Brixton Village feel to it that I imagine comes with the gentrification and higher rents in the area. There are some really great coffee and burger places inside as well as the usual fabric places, there is even a little pet store that sells fish and birds. There is the standard food stalls and fruit and veg places, always good to buy local produce and from small businesses. Best thing I found was this little shop that sells loads of comics and paints them on shoes and coaster and clocks, great place to pick up a gift or treat yourself (I mean the shoes were scary high heels but amazing). The shops I browsed in the staff were really friendly, happy to answer questions and let me wander through without buying. The market is also has a bar at one end, a place i definitely want to check out next time. My only regret is I wandered through the market after lunch and finishing my shopping so this time I just browsed.

Tooting Market is possibly the poorest, most underwelming market I've been to. The market is pretty…read moresmall but there's nothing in the market that's really worth buying. With Spitalfields and Borough Market you can get a variety of food form fresh bread to on the spot sandwiches but this market is more like a fruit and veg / cheap little market selling cheapy food and goods, not really up-market and fancy. Very no frills. Even if you can't be bothered going all the way East or to the Southbank, Northcote Road Market (a very continental market) is close by. I'm not really sure what this really has to offer and I wouldn't trust the fruit and veg from here either, I'd give it a miss.

I'm normally not someone who goes to the butcher, as I have an aversion to raw meat, but this local…read morestore also offers pies, cheese and olives. One maybe should call it a delicatessen store rather than a butcher. The shop is small and has every surface cramped with delicious food. I went in as I was looking for some cheese. The range on offer was leaning towards Stilton and hard cheese, so if you want Camembert or Brie you will need to stock up in the supermarket across the road. The lovely lady behind the counter was giving me different cheeses to try, but I did not test her on her cheese knowledge, as I would not be able to call her on it anyway. The staff are very chatty and friendly in general. I also got the feeling that this is a family business, so I'm more that happy to pay a bit more to support this local shop. Credit cards accepted for amounts over £5.

Well, it turns out it was worth it. This place is dedicated to local Farmers who are growing and raising the produce themselves. After reading 'The Omnivore's Dilemma' by Michael Pollan earlier this year (I recommend this book to anyone who wants to know how the food gets on your table) I have developed a keen interest in buying my food in this way, and it appears so have a lot of other people as these kind of farmer's markets are increasing substantially in popularity. This market is held weekly in the grounds of a local school and has a very good choice of organic vegetables & fish as well as free range meat (chicken, beef, lamb, pork, sausages, bacon). You can also find buffalo mozzarella, fruit juices, cold cuts and yoghurt. The stall holders are very keen to explain how it may have been grown, reared and caught and although it's a little more expensive than your local supermarket the pay-off is taste, quality and ultimately your health.

The quality of meat, customer service and attention to detail here is outstanding. What to get: - Pork and Herb or Cumberland sausages (both big and excellent!) - Chicken skewers (lemon and coriander and sweet chill are the best) - Meat balls.

The cut is just so beautiful. The prices are expensive though. This is like a holiday meat place. Go here for your Christmas turkey or your Easter sirloin steak. They don't really discount, so maybe you can buy one slab of meat a week from here for Sunday dinner. If you do want to sample some of their meat but you're on a budget, usually during warm weather periods they smoke/roast a pig on the road outside of their shop and make pork sandwiches on the weekend. The pig smells delightful as you're walking up the street. When you see it on the skewer rotating around it looks kind of sad because usually the head is still on it, but it still smells so good. The sandwiches are amazing and they're only £3. So sorry for the little oinker that's on the barby, but so happy for my tummy.
