What To Expect
Borough Market
The 1,000-year history of Borough Market, from its beginnings in the 11th century to its rebirth in the 21st It is one of the largest and oldest food markets in London, with a market on the site dating back to at least the 12th century. One of the most famous places to visit in London, especially if you love to eat, is Borough Market. The market was established in 1885, and it's one of the most renowned markets in London for artisan prepared food, and fresh organic produce. For 1,000 years it has stood at the foot of London Bridge, serving the people of Southwark. After the construction of the first medieval bridge, probably in the mid-990s, the road we now know as Borough High Street acted as a vital artery joining London—a walled metropolis on the north side of the river—to the ports and towns of the south, making it a magnet for farmers, bakers, brewers and fishermen hoping to sell their wares to travellers.

Leadenhall Market

Originally a meat, poultry and game market, it is now home to a number of boutique retailers, restaurants, and an award-winning pub. Starting as the site of a manor, Leadenhall has survived changes in use, rebuilding, and even the Great Fire to become a popular destination for city residents, visitors and workers. Built on the site of a Roman Basilica (Courts) and Forum (Market), Leadenhall was the largest market north of the Alps and occupied an area bigger than that of Trafalgar Square. Leadenhall Market offers a spectacular Victorian setting with the roof, cobbles and buildings preserved. By the mid-20th century the shops are also being used for general retailing and leisure and by the end of the century Leadenhall Market has evolved into one of the City’s five principal shopping centres.

Camden Market
In the 1960s, legendary gigs at Dingwalls and the Roundhouse changed London’s music scene forever, bringing rock and punk to London. These venues were beloved by counter culture bands. As Camden’s music industry boomed, alternative fashion came with it. Young designers started experimenting with new looks and selling them on market stalls. The first of Camden’s markets, Camden Lock started in 1974 as an arts and crafts market outside Dingwalls Dance Hall. Camden Market quickly became the place to go if you were looking for something ‘alternative’. everybody who was ‘cool’ was down at Camden Market on a Sunday afternoon buying their hippy flares, leather jackets, platform boots and battered old Dr Martens. Camden Market acted as a launch pad for many young designers. The flexibility of a market stall and the eclectic mix of visitors attracted to Camden Market every weekend made ideal conditions in which to start a fledging fashion business.
