Summary

COI synopsis: Street markets are as much a part of the London tourist scene as Buckingham Palace or the Tower... antiques, clothes, fruit and vegetables, whatever you’re looking for you’ll find a market somewhere offering the right goods, at the right price! Vicki Luke takes us on a quick tour of her local market, and we have a look at one of two of the more famous of these fascinating, 1000 year-old institutions.
