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.

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!

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....

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.

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.

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. The space itself was pretty big, with little room between stalls, but that added to the vibe. I'd especially recommend this place for groups, because there's truly something for everyone!

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.

There is only one stall for fresh produce, so this is mainly a market just for a quick meal rather than stocking up on fruits and veggies. I've tried the mediterranean dish right by the entrance, which has a great combination of flavors and seems pretty healthy. I also got the curry from one of the Indian vendors, which was full of flavor and the perfect portion size. The desserts are also great, but unfortunately the baked goods get pretty cold in the winter. My only real complaint would be that so many students come here during their lunch break that some of the lines get pretty long and there isn't much seating. Ultimately, incredible food and a great opportunity to support restaurants in London.
