We visited this market recently and really loved the energy of it. There are the traditional tents…read morefilled with fresh fruits and veggies; but there are also tents with beautiful clothing, luggage, handmade items, etc. I'm traveling the world with just a small backpack, so I'm not doing much shopping these days, but the food items I bought were fresh and delicious. I loved that everything was put in paper bags, not plastic. I read that the market has been around since the 9th century, which I loved knowing. A short walk down the hill brings you to beautiful neighborhoods with cobblestone roads and the huge cathedral. It's a lovely area overall.

You can find everything from brilliant pies (Raven's Den in particular), awesome cheese (Lincolnshire Poacher and others), fresh veggies (Earthworks and others), fresh fish and meats... not to mention cupcakes and other sweet treats! We usually start by getting a coffee for the husband from the vendor with the mobile coffee bar (the machine is in the back of his van), and then wander the markets and end at the Merchant for a cup of tea for me. As long as there is a rainbow biscuit on the way even our toddler is happy.

I much prefer a green grocer to a supermarket for my fruit and vegetables. The man who runs this stall/van is really great, friendly and always gives good deals and bargains! The smell of fruit as you walk past is often very yummy and tempting!

The service is excellent and they will order things for you if you want something they dont stock. There is a post office, without the usual queues in post offices nowadays. The cafe is excellent value for money, good service, local home baked foods, yummy cakes and desserts, cooked foods or a simple sandwich, (freshly made, with salad and crisps on the side). The cafe is very popular but not noisy. I am disabled and this shop is a godsend as I cant walk around big shops and supermarkets but I can get most things here.

An interesting specials board, a solid everyday board, good flavoursome portions and charming staff add up to a very pleasant experience. In addition there's a farm shop, with it's own section for pet feed, and currently a Christmas Barn with decorations displayed by colour. The Christmas decorations we bought were just that little bit unusual and very reasonably priced. In summer the maze is open, and the goats, geese, Vietnamese pigs and sheep are there to see all year. I travel to Norfolk maybe four or five times a year and rest here every single time as it's conveniently placed on the A10. The toilets are pretty good too. I highly recommend Rectory FarmShop

This place was so cool! There are tons of vintage shops around Brick Lane, but there's one specific…read moreone that's pictured in a lot of reviews (I didn't take any pictures). It's huge underground area full of vintage shops! The prices were a little too pricey for me, but the best part was the food! There's a whole street food market in that area that serves all kinds of foods, drinks, and desserts. This was where I had the best mango sticky rice I've had in a long time! Strongly recommend checking this place out!

I went in 2 different times: saturday at 3pm and wednesday at 10am. Two completely different vibes. I tried the famous sandwich from the black pig, viral chocolate covered strawberries and bread ahead. Black pig - the best one sandwich: it was AMAZING!!! I was a bit scared to get this since i was by myself but let me tell you, it was not heavy as i expected it to be. Just delicious overall and would totally recommend. Chocolate strawberries: I love strawberries and chocolate but definitely think you can find cheaper alternatives anywhere in london. Bread Ahead: my new favorite pastry place. I pretty much got a donut from this place (not this location) everyday because the black currant cheesecake donut was that good. I got the tiramisu and crème brûlée donut which my brother liked and i wish i could've tasted them before they went bad but anyways, I would totally recommend the donuts from here! Their chocolate chips cookies are HUGE and delicious as well. This was probably one of my favorite markets!

The Farmers' Market is a relatively new initiative which brings local produce to Oxford's shoppers…read more There's a great range of food such as free range meat and dairy produce, home-baked cakes and locally produced jams and honeys. There are burgers and other food items cooked on the sight, so you can eat while you wander, and it's ideal if you're looking for good, honest food without the stress of supermarket shopping. The stallholders are mostly friendly and keen to chat about their produce, and prices are reasonably compared to health food shops and similar. A great thing to support that adds to the traditional feel of the more independent aspects of Oxford shopping and makes the big town seem more like a local farming market.
