It's the second worst market in London, only because I haven't fiund the worst yet. It's like being dropped off in Kabul. Heavy Asian presence, which isn't a problem if you live in Asia. Goto the Borough Market, it's heaps better More

Every tuesday in the market there is a stall near the Walthamstow Mall that sells London souvenirs for as little as a pound! If you want to get some great souvenirs away from the overpriced city...
