During Christmas time, Convent Garden's Food Market is decorated beautifully and such a sight to…read moresee! The cute decor attracts tourists for a picture inside or outside of the market or at one of the red telephone booths located nearby! The market area is mostly covered by tall ceiling structures, giving a small reprieve if it's raining, but it has an open air feel. What's funny about this market is that you can find local options or favorites from back home. There's a shake shack right in the center of the market, but you can find smaller craft eateries spread around. There are also different places to get a cup of hot mulled wine or hot chocolate and you'll find the long lines for Ben's cookies nearby! If you are coming to Covent Garden via the tube, know that this tube station is a wreck! It's incredibly busy and unless you want to walk up an endless flight of stairs, you'll need to wait and pack in like sardines into the elevator.

We stopped by the market for a quick Sunday visit while weaving our way through the neighborhood…read more The market was lively with street performers, stalls selling trinkets, beautiful bars and restaurants alongside more permanent shops selling Belgian chocolates and more. It's a fun spot to peruse if you find yourself in the neighborhood.

My favorites from the market was the fresh dairy, fish, pork, beef & veggie venders! If your looking for a nice centerpiece there is a lovely flower vender as well. Prices were very moderate.

The only killer for me are the opening hours - finishing at 1pm is a bit of a killer, I am barely awake by that time on a Saturday (slack I know). Also, if you do get there 12 to 1ish you are likely to find that all the meat has gone or something similar.

Marylebone Farmers' Market is an adorable Farmers Market that goes down Grotto Passage…read more I loved that we stopped into Ginger Pig while it was going on because it meant there was seating out front to have our sausage rolls, but we also picked up and extremely sour pink lemonade from one of the gelato vendors. It was fairly small, but could have used some extra water to cut the lemon, so we weren't mad it was on the tiny side. The passage itself had enough space to comfortably walk down and we loved checking out the different higher-end vendors and their wares. Overall I'd definitely recommend dropping by if you're in the area.

I like to combine a visit to Ally Pally Farmers Market with a leisurely Sunday late-morning stroll…read morealong the Parkland Walk from Finsbury Park to Alexandra Palace...by the time I get to the latter destination, I usually have walked up quite an appetite and the offerings at this market are a pleasing sight for sore feet. There's nothing "special" about this Farmers Market in terms of what kind of stalls are there: the usual stall selling bangers, a Middle Eastern food stall, Jamaican/Carribean food and of course fruit and veg stands, meats, and other delicacies...a paradise for the London Yuppie! The tricky part about this Farmers Market is that its location switches depending on whether or not there's something going on at the convention centre within Alexandra Palace: if that is the case, the parking lot - where the market typically takes place - is used for its intended purpose and the Farmers Market will be relocated to a nearby school yard. My tip: I usually never know where it will be, but I'm just following the string of people with shopping bags...

This is currently my favorite farmers market, mostly because it's local, so I can easily spend…read moreSunday morning shopping and eating there. It's not large, but the selection is excellent: homemade pies, organic fruit and veg, cheese, sausages and other meats, including a man who sells pigeon breast -- not appetising at all, but my cats would love it if I was the type of person who would spend £1 for a tablespoon of meat. Speaking of birds, I'm a sucker for free range eggs from chickens that roam around in fields. One of the vendors sells "ugly eggs," those with flaws in the shells for 80p a half dozen. Vendors who sell things grown and made locally can have a stall every week, others are only allowed to sell their wares once a month.

We saw the vendors opening early and setting up all sorts of pastries, fruits, clothing, gadgets, and all the things you expect to see at a local market. Nothing crazy unique, but definitely worth browsing the markets if you're nearby.

Still, Chapel Market has it going on... in the form of brazenly fresh, organic produce. Whether you're seeking whole free range chickens, loaves of spelt bread, or the heartiest yellow and red beefsteak tomatoes, you'll be able to find it here. Just plan to bring cash from elsewhere. As I discovered this morning, all of the ATMs up and down the street charge for withdrawals - an absolute travesty in a city otherwise dominated by free cash machines.

I got the Sub-Marine sandwich, which was one of the weirdest combinations of things, but also one of the tastiest - seared scallop, roasted pork shoulder, calamari, arugula/rocket. All of those things shouldn't work together, but they do! Honestly, give it a shot! Also, the sandwiches are gigantic. The guys working the truck are also the nicest dudes. Pro-tip: if you want the 28-day beef sandwich, you gotta get there early.

Snuffle, snuffle... Seriously, where has this market been all my life? I've been to this area many times, I've eaten here many times, I've been drunk here many times but I had not been here while all the market stalls were advertising their tasty delights with amazing smells... Go and then walk along the street a bit until you see the church, walk through the gates and you'll find a perfect park to sit down in and enjoy your yummy food.

Perhaps you even maven it out so all of your friends literally can predict that the punchline of your current sentence will be the subject of your latest obsession... (not that I know from experience or anything). Well that's my current relationship with Exmouth Market. It's *that* great. It's a culmination of many things, really. It's great restaurants like Moro and Medcalf, Cottons and Santore, all of which offer fabulous al fresco experiences on the cobbles under the fairy lights. Gourmet delicatessen Brindisa, Sweet Boulangerie & Patisserie, Caravan, who by the way roasts their own coffee in the basement alongside an amazing menu and cocktail list... it's just good, good, good, on top of more good. It's also the funky shopping like Space EC1, Brill, Family Tree, on top of independent bookshops and record stores. And do I even need to mention the awesomeness that is Bagman and Robin? Exmouth is cute and accessible, it's central but off the beaten path... See what I mean? Until the next best thing, the punchline will always be Exmouth.

This place is seriously fantastic, but its not really a farmer's market. Most of the people…read moreserving at the Brunswick on Saturdays are young chefs exhibiting their experiments or other businesses that go from market to market with their crafts (think fantastic sausage, cheese, and baked goods, NOT fruit and veg). I have gone out of my way to make it back to London for the risotto balls, venison sausage, octopus, and perhaps most of all, ROSEMARY LEMON cake which is to DIE for. The vibe is almost upscale considering that it is a market, but if you frequent the Brunswick center, you know that's not entirely unexpected. Having lived in Spain and gone to markets there very frequently (and having been to a number in London as well), this market does not suffer from any slightly awkward I-might-get-TB-from-the-unwashed-hands-on-my-food sensation. I often frequent this market for little portions of different sausages and cheeses, a new dessert, and grab a bottle of red wine on the way home for a delicious light supper. It will not disappoint!

So the last two Saturdays I've ventured on over to the market, I've left disappointed. The fruit…read moreand veg stand seems to get smaller and more marginalised every week. And the food vendors are sadly going down hill rather than stepping up their game as the days grow longer and warmer. I should have suspected something might be amiss with the Egyptian salad bowl that was served to me by the most ivory Western-looking woman imaginable the other week, but I let it pass. But my vegetable paella today was the final straw. You see, it simply tasted like a Spanish version of a greasy Anglo-Canto restaurant's special fried rice. Basically, it was a special fried rice, frozen vegetable bits and all, with a bit of saffron thrown in there for good measure. The ethnic hodge podge was not cool, paella vendor who called me mademoiselle, not cool.
