Strutton Ground Market is a small street market held on weekdays near the Victoria section of…read moreLondon. The market is named for the narrow cobblestone street that it is located on. It is one of the most centrally located street markets in London. The market mainly caters for local residents and the office population in the immediate Victoria Street area, selling food, groceries, books and clothing, but is becoming increasingly popular with tourists. My wife and I visited the Strutton Ground Market while we were on a trip to London in April 2019. We had just visited Westminster Abbey down the street, and my wife told me about a great street market that we could stop at for lunch. She had studied abroad in London and knew her way around the city pretty well. There were so many delicious-sounding food vendors that we had trouble picking. I decided to order from a Middle Eastern food vender called Falafel Zaki Zaki. I ordered "The Whole Shebang Wrap" which was stuffed with falafel, eggplant (aubergine), salad, hot peppers, pickled vegetables and white sauce. Just as I was about to take a picture of the delicious wrap, the vendor posed for the shot and had me cracking up. That wrap was so good!! My wife found a cool Indian street food vendor and ordered some Samosas and a side of Chicken with Rice. We ended up sharing all of our food and were very happy with our choices. We'll definitely stop again on our next trip to London.

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.

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.

I believe that the name Mercato Metropolitano is for the retail area. It was open early matching…read morethe hours listed on yelp. The Food Hall itself opened at noon. As I remember it, there was a cheese monger (who also greeted us), cafe, and some fresh produce. There were also a few tables and chairs for folks to relax and enjoy their beverages and pastries. The man in the cafe, who made our latte was friendly and charming. He asked where my wife's family was from and then spoke some rudimentary Japanese with her. When a regular customer came in with his dog, Molly, the business owner sliced some meat and served it to Molly. It was obvious that while much of his business was probably transitory, he took the time to get to know his customers, even the K-9's. Oh yeah, and the latte was pretty good too!

Tender tender shredded bits of duck on top of this perfectly crispy yet substantially potato-y fries.

Nice cut of steak cooked just right on a fresh bun. 5 stars - Gin tasting spot: can sit at near by to enjoy your food with a nice G&T. - Small so not super touristy, but good amount of people. - Mix of few sit down restaurants by in the small road with the food stands. Lowlights: - Couldn't try everything: there were specialty potsitckers and other booths that looked so good. - Has limited hours only open on Saturday and Sunday. LOVED this so much and will be back next visit.

Food carts, food stands, taco trucks, meals on wheels, roach coaches -- call them what you will, but coming from the cart-infused land of Port, where lunch on the go was as literal as it sounds, I couldn't have been happier stumbling upon this glorious street, and systematically eating my way through it. This is a must stop for any visitors to London -- hell, this is a must stop for me on a weekly basis! Italian cheese and charcuterie, authentic falafel, Middle Eastern vegan food, Portuguese savouries, luxury fairy cakes, and yes, even the mythical London burrito truck...
