What you need to know about the London markets

You talk about a capital,straight away you think : PARIS, LONDON, MADRID and so many other cities and things go all over your mind : big buildings, malls keeping thousands of unusefull shops, traffic jams, huge supermarket offering a great range of fruits and veggies but full of chemicals and a memorable lack of taste ( that is only a big picture, there would be much more to say about it). Well... let's go back to our description of what is a big city : crowd on the streets, delays in the underground, barely able to breath for all the commuters and in any single corner in town you won't forget why we are all here : $$$$$....clear enough????good.
This is basically from monday to Friday we must cope with it. Week end is coming and for most of us, to get ride of all those symptoms, we all run away in organizing a nice country side week end or....whatever (with low cost airlines companies, country side has nowadays a different meaning, manchester for a londoners, Nice for people from paris. it is not anymore about distance). However each one of us is trying to make its week end a pollution free escape.
For the brave ones, sticking to the town, markets in London offer a great alternative to wonder around whether you are looking for something in particular or not. So i Invite you to have a look at the different markets I went two weeks ago to make up your mind.
Have a look a bit further down, and read through the articles about Brick lane market, columbia road flower market, spitafields market and borough market.
Should you have any comments, you know where is the link to leave one. In the meantime, on the web you can view much more pictures of the differents markets in london.
If you have any interesting clichés , it would a pleasure to see and publish them.
Why you look at all this, here is my cliché for today : go back to basic things, they are good enough and might save you....at least they will save earth.
Enjoy
