Excellent off-the-track guide
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
I have used this book extensively on several trips to London. Excellent descriptions allow you to determine what markets will be of interest... and which to avoid. Many of the smaller markets are hard to find without a guide of some sort, and this book is small enough to carry in your back pocket. If you intend to delve deeper than the crowded tourist attractions, this guide will open a window into what London is really like.
Excellent guide to many many streets
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Full of information about street markets in London, not only the world famous Portobello Road or Camden Town. When I travelled to England in 2000, I was fed up with fasionable / tourist markets, and then I found this book, which took me to some other streets to spend a ideal Saturday morning in. The author knows the excitement when you stroll down the streets filled with colourful fruit and veg, clothes, bottles of shampoo, cushions and what-you-call bric-a-blac. (Shoppers and traders are there as well as pickpockets!) He says he was led to write about street trade to see the multi-cultural / multi-racial energy at Ridley Road market in East London, and this explains a lot. This book actually guide you down to the core of those traditional street trade. Maps, transport information and where-to-park suggestions --really helpful for drivers-- and some drawings, but no glossy photographs. Thin and small enough to carry about all the time.
