Check out Borough Market beside London Bridge station for all your food needs. It's open Thursday to Saturday.

Greenwich has a really nice market too.

And here's a pretty complete list of markets in London:

you could spend hours/hundreds at camden lock.
or just camden in general.
if you want skunk at 7am its also readily available.

Some of the shops have low girders going across the ceiling, and if you're tall you might hit your head badly on them and have a shopful of Asian dudes laughing at you while you stumble around in a woefully disorientated state....or so I've heard.



Does anyone else think that the people running the stalls and shops were far too fucking pushy in Camden, and London in general? I did...pricks.
