I do like a Market


Last week we went to Brockley Food Market located in the carpark of Lewisham college. Very high standards there & I recommend a visit. Dorset Oysters for breakfast at 90p a go.


(and there's a game dealer from Kent who sells rifle shot Hares in one piece & for that alone i'm very excited)


At the other end of the spectrum I occasionally get up really early and go to the dogtrack at Wimbledon, it's essentially a massive carboot sale on Saturday. But on Wednesday it's a traders market and if you pay a fiver you get in before the public to check out the stock. However, no money can change hands before 10am. It's like a visit to the Star Wars bar , there is it seems a whole bootsale culture. You never can tell what you'll find there and like Ikea it's near on impossible to come out empty handed.



I pay a visit to Borough but not so much as I used too. Brixton market indoors is getting interesting and the food outlets are really good too. Shoreditch early on a Sunday is an eyeopener and throws up some good (but slightly dodgy) stuff.


If you're looking for big-curious-quality furniture then Ardingly antique fair is massive.


Are there any others worth a look ?

Nette stop stalking me, first clubs and now markets :)) yep Brockley market is the destination for hipster families, really good food stalls there.


You'll love the Eat St collective at Kings X, lots of meat! Tongue n' cheek, Buen Provecho, Luardos, the Ribman....the list is endless.


My mate sells lovely jewellery at Spitalfields so I have to mention that too.

We're off to Columbia St market tomorrow to start re-stocking the garden with shrubs, flowers, herbs for Spring.


Highly recommended - tho' parking can nowadays be a pain. Arrive early, have a bagel & coffee for breakfast with the papers - collect stuff and depart for an afternoon's planting.


There is an excellent Spanish cafe with chorizo sardines there too - with excellent espressos but, sadly no chocolate & churros.

Ms Curtain, have you been to Church Road market in Crystal Palace? I haven't btw just wondered if any good. Apparently its a collection of stalls and shops selling second hand (pre-loved taken over from vintage/retro now innit) furniture, clothing etc.


Years ago I used to go to Merton Abbey Mills which was an outdooe and indoor market think there was a car boot sale nearby too.

Hmmm.


Church Road in Crystal Palace is a permanent set up with loads of shops selling mainly furniture and "stuff". You never can tell what you'll find up there & Saturday early is best. I know a fair few of the traders, like Andy from Bambino and Jerry from I.D. It is quite well priced and there's always room for haggling. However, there is a madder/odder market at the back of the Sainsbury's delivery yard. If you have the heart and patience there are things to be found there, but it is slightly odd/weird.


Merton Abbey Mills ( where Liberty once printed their fabric) has declined into a very poor version of Camden i'm afraid.


Anybody know what the name of the area/street near Borough where some stall holders have set up an alternative market ?

OK here's my pennies worth


Herne Hill have a great new market near the station

And if you fancy some rather cute and pretty, then may I suggest the Duck Pond market in Richmond my personal favorite and where I actually trade on a Sunday.

Marylebone Church as a lovely one in the church yard.

And of course the flower market in the East end and the other market over in Hackney near the canal.

There you go that should keep you going for a while!

Went to Brockley Market today - it's v. expensive. Coffee - ?2 for a black one and ?2.50 for addition of milk. Those are sit down prices and have in a china cup prices, not walking around in a cardboard cup prices.


Rib Man was there today.


Mother Flipper burgers range from 5.50 to 6.50.


Mike and Ollie's Wraps are ?6 for a fish one.


There is a good meat seller from Kent there who is also at Peckham Market outside the library and at the Sunday Herne Hill Market. His prices are the same at all the markets.

Rib Man not usually at Brockley. He makes guest appearances every now and then. He's usually at Brick Lane on Sundays. He has a website and is on twitter. Brockley Market in on Lewisham Way near in the grounds of the college car park, not far in a car. It's also close to Hilly Fields for a walk afterwards.

    • Rant ahead: You're not one of them but unfortunately, there's a substrate of posters here that do very little except moan and come up with weird conspiracy theories. They're immediately highly critical of just about any change, and their initial assumption is that everyone else is a total fucking contemptible idiot. For example: don't you think that the people who run the libraries will have considered the impact of timing of reconstruction on library users? (In fact, we know they have - because they've made arrangements at other libraries to attempt to mitigate the disruption). After all, these are the people that spend their whole working week thinking about libraries and dealing with library users (and the kids especially). You don't go into the library game for the chicks and fame - so it's fair to assume that librarians are committed to public service and public access to libraries, including by kids. Likewise the built environment people (engineers, architects, construction managers, project managers, construction contractors, subcontractors or whoever is on this job) are told to minimise disruption on every job they do. The thing that occurs to us as amateurs within 30 seconds of us seeing something is probably not something a full time professional hasn't thought about! Southwark Council, the NHS, TfL, Dulwich Estate, Thames Water, Openreach - they're not SPECTRE factories filled with malevolent chaosmongers trying to persecute anyone. They're mostly filled with people who understand their job and try to do their best with what they've been given - just like all of us. Nobody is perfect or immune from challenge, and that's fair enough, but why not at least start from the assumption that there's a good reason why things have been done the way they have? Any normal person would be pleased that their busy, pretty, lively local library is getting refurbished, and will have more space and facilities for kids and teens, and will be more efficient to run and warmer in winter. But no, EDT_Forumite_752 had kids who did an exam 20 years ago, and this makes them an expert on library refurbishment who can see it's all just stuff and nonsense for the green agenda and why can't it all be put off... 😡😡😡
    • I completely misread the previous post, sorry. For some reason I thought the mini cooper was also a police vehicle, DUH.
