Drings is quality. If you eat meat and want quality and good value go here. I grew up buying meat…read morefrom a cellophane package and going to Drings is just such a different experience from that. When in doubt, just ask the butchers behind the counter. They are all extremely friendly and are happy to give you cooking tips and to tell you what's very good on that particular day. Some of the choice cuts are a bit pricey, but the quality is so good, it's still good value. Drings also has a variety of cheaper, not as popular cuts which are a steal and help you cook and eat well even when you are on a budget. Knowing my butchers and being able to pick and choose and try things here and there without buying them from mountains of packaging is a very satisfying shopping experience.

They have a fantastic selection, including some of the older cuts you don't often find. Not cheap, but then why should it be. Main downside is that on Saturday when I go, the queues can be very very long. That should tell you enough about it. Along from this you can find equivalent quality Bakers, Greengrocers, fishmongers.

Sure it's filled with bits and bobs of tat but there's also flower, fish, meat, clothing, street food and oh so many wonderful stalls to explore. We wondered round for about half an hour just to suss out the situation but I loved every minute. Filled with bright colours, wonderful smells and smiley, happy people. I even stopped to try some authentic Italian cuisine at a little stall called LovingEAT - Andrea was ridiculously friendly and talked us through his menu. The Arancino was delicious and very authentic - I'll be back! We also bought a beautiful orchid from a flower stall for just £3.50! I will be back next weekend to explore again and I have a feeling this will become a regular Saturday adventure! Definitely recommend for truly authentic London market experience.

You can find clothes, shoes, books, Cd's and bric n brac at bargain prices. Today, I found a lovely clock. Cheap as chips as David Dickinson would say. But they also had Hornsea china which sells for a lot of money on eBay. There are oddities like half drunk bottles of spirits and ancient jars filled with faded spices. Yuk! But don't ask for a discount as they don't haggle.

The Creaky Shed is the perfect fruit and vegetable shop. Why aren't there more places like this in…read moreLondon? Owned by two of the most helpful and friendly grocers in London- Adrian and Jason- the shop sells high quality fresh fruit and vegetables on a seasonal basis. Everything is beautifully arranged- the presentation is immaculate, especially at Halloween and Christmas. My friends who live locally, will now not shop anywhere else. They even arrange weekly vegetable and fruit boxes through them. Last Summer I asked them to put together a small fruit platter for me- I only had 20 pounds- and they delivered the most enourmous, extravagant platter that few 20 people. I was so impressed- they put in beautiful apples, strawberries, pears, mango and melon- a lot of the money. They also stock an amazing selection of pickles, preserves and Chegworth Valley apple juices.

The quality and freshness of their fish is unsurpassed - the best goes early on a Saturday. They are also ethical, in that they only source responsibly fished fish. They also have a pc in the shop, if you want to research a recipe before buying. Just next to this are shops of equivalent quality selling bread, meat, cheese, greengrocery. You could live here, and live well.

All thanks to the COVID-19 crisis I have now become a regular customer! What is there not to like about this butcher?
