The of Camden Town It is considered the best street market in the city, and since I told you about it a couple of days ago, today I will focus on others that are also very interesting. If you are going to be in London for any length of time, I recommend you stop by one of them even if you don't have much time. I have visited some and I can assure that it is totally worth it.

Portobello Market

Although the one in Camden Town is spectacular, this street market is my favorite, perhaps because of how much I like the movie. Notting Hill, in which his protagonist used to go out several times when he lived there. It is a market where you can find a little of everything and at different prices. It is celebrated on Saturdays from morning to afternoon. It is also very interesting to visit the shops behind the stalls.

It is close to the famous Tower Bridge and it is a market where you can taste all kinds of food and ingredients, both British and from anywhere else in the world. Almost all positions have free tastings, so it will be great to take a leisurely walk while you are trying the products that most attract your attention. In addition, there is a part in which cooking, drawing workshops for children or shows such as traditional dances, concerts and plays are held.

It is near the Royal Opera, in the heart of the city. In the Victorian era it was a fruit and vegetable market, and today it is still very charming. Over time, in addition to a market, it has become a small shopping center where you can find clothes, jewelry, food, decorative objects or tea. There is a lot of life both day and night as concerts and various street shows are organized.
