‘who will buy’.., Love this place, apart from the penalty fare parking ticket the last time I went! Why do they make those signs to read so confusing! (to get your money)! hey ho! Anyway, crowds apart, this street market on a road of gorgeous Victoria shops off Hackney Road is a joy. Beautiful blooms to feast your eyes on, wishing you had more money to spend on the flowers! Urban street caf’s, individual craft, design and homewares shops. And watching everyone, when their arms are full, carrying their wares home – a balancing act, late on a Sunday morn’. And a nice pub lunch too, after with friends..

I always love walking round this place. The sights, sounds and gorgeous smells wafting! More than 100 stalls, selling all produce from cheese, breads to meats.., such choice! Quirky urban beaten up side streets too, with lovely independent retailers on the door step. Cobbles and charm aplenty. And keep being recommended ‘Elliot’s, to go to, must go soon!
Last time I had a tasty hallomi, spicy wrap on the go.., and to think someone has told me chocolate features in a restaurant near..  But hey, when ever I have a meeting near, I always (if the sun is shining), pop into Gelateria 3 bis, for a gelato. How can you resist ‘Italian pistachio, hazelnuts from Piemonte, liquorice from Calabria and Pernigotti Cocoa! Love their website too! And good to read they use quality British ingredients like rhubarb, gooseberries and clotted cream. Cream tea anyone..!
