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.

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.

One of my favorite places had a Health smoothie, but was also serving hot teas. It was a tough choice to choose between the two. As a tourist and lended, I wish I could pick up more things to take back as well, but I would need a suitcase for all of that. Whenever I return to London, I'll be making a visit here again!

Islington Farmer's Market takes place in the playground of the William Tyndale School every Sunday…read morebetween 10am and 2pm. As one might expect from a market that takes place in a school playground it is pretty small affair. It is exclusively a food market. There are around 12 stalls selling meat, cheese, fish, vegetables and juices. In contrast to other markets there is little food to eat as you walk (pies etc.) so best to visit for staples if you live in the area. There are a good selection of quality items; the juices are particularly good. This farmer's market isn't spectacular but nonetheless sells good stuff and worth visiting if you're a local.

This is my Sunday ritual. Unfortnately I hail from San Francisco so I am a farmers market snob,…read morebut I actually appreciate the small quaintness of this market. I recommend the tomato guy, the goat cheese, the fresh eggs, the sausages and of course the Flour Power brownie. It can get a bit crowded, especially in the summer, but it is manageable. And hit the cash machine before you go--I can easily spend 40£ here (I am a sucker for the buy 2 discount!) I wish someone would put up a good coffee/latte stand at the market! I love strolling with my morning latte and there is no good place around there for coffee. Plus every farmers market should have a good coffee stand. I wish I could get Blue Bottle over on this side of the pond....

There's a market that happens only on Sundays til 4pm, so try to go then, but even when it's not happening, Brick Lane is such an adventure to walk through. It has a serious Brooklyn vibe - thank you, hipsters of the world. If you're at all into vintage clothes, arts, jewelry, maps, antiques, home decor, and bric-a-brac, this is the mecca for it. I've never seen this much vintage merchandise in one location! Make sure to check out the underground vintage market halfway through the street, because if you're into shopping at all, you'll find tons of second-hand designer clothing and accessories. The food options literally left my jaw dropped, and the same will happen to your Instagram followers. The crux of it is geared towards Indian, Pakistani, and Bangladeshi cuisines and dollar stores (hence the unofficial nickname, Curry Lane), but you can find all sorts of shops on the street, like chocolatiers, donuts, a world-famous cereal bar, Lithuanian food, Ethiopian food, Middle Eastern food, and more. There is so much personality and eclectic energy to Brick Lane - I can't recommend it enough that you add it to your itinerary!

Strongly recommend checking this place out!

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.

This is real food, grown and sold by people with a real passion for what theyre producing. My particular favourites here are the lovely fresh knobbly fruit and vegetables - everything from basic spuids and carrots to parsnips and kale and a host inbetween. In terms of fruit theres top quality and actually taste-containing apples etc as well as more seasonal/exotic things like apricts and strawberries in the summer. I love the fact that you can just wander around at your leisure, and that you can try samples of things such as nice breads, real meats (their bacon and sausages are amazing, compared to the watery mush and beaks sold by some supermarkets) and cheeses and olives. Best of all the prices arent excessive and compare pretty well with supermarket prices for organic stuff. Also the food miles are minimal. Highly recommended.

Sourced Market is one of the most interesting spots inside St. Pancras Station…read more It is like a mini market full of local, organic and responsible sourced products. They sell a bit of everything: cheese, pasta, baked goods, meat, wine, bread, olives, some 'ready-to-go food', coffee... You can even find a selection of local beers! They also have a side where you can sit and have some food or just enjoy the famous Monmouth coffee. Which I do almost every day. And now, they also have a counter where they sell treats from 'The Cinnamon Tree Bakery', so a visits is always a must if looking for some amazing chocolate brownies! It is a bit pricey but reasonable for the quality of the products and the location of the Market.

I will say a lot of the dishes from stall to stall were similar, but there were still seemingly endless options.

Defo one to check out on a lovely stretch of road that has a few other hidden gems. My fav of Cremasco cheese and some hams are certainly the highlight that I will alway be getting. There's also an amazing chocolate and a Pistachio pastry that is light crispy and sweet. And a £1 each it's so worth getting, esp the latter. Always good to support local independent places too and I certainly will with this one.

It was sooo goood!! Next time I really want to try the hog roast with apple sauce. The only bad thing about this market is it is located between SOAS, Birkbeck and ULU...and is around the corner for UCL. So once the University year has started, you have to wait in line for quite a long time for the yummy food! Doh!!

And interestingly enough, the traders here are NOT the same old same old you get at all the other outdoor food markets. It is a refreshing change. A nice balance between ready to eat foods and groceries/take home products like bread, veg, raw meat, etc. Last time I had some fresh twisty pasta with walnut pesto, parmesan, and radicchio and it was REALLY good. It was like £4 or so, which is a good deal in my book. I'll certainly be back on another sunny day.
