My first visit.

Amazing! This is surely the best food market in London. There may be equally good fruit and vegetables elsewhere, but not this wonderful choice of delectable English, Welsh, French and Italian cheeses; wild beef from Dartmoor; cider from the New Forest; organic meats and charcuterie; a French shop (foie gras, confit, saucisson sec… and wine), a German stall with genuine Frankfurters and Fleishwurst, and hot Bratwurst mit Sauerkraut to munch while continuing one’s exploration; poulty; fresh fish; a beer shop with an unbelievable selection of different bottled beers; a large range of wonderful looking (and tasting) breads and patisserie; chocolates; Christmas puds and sticky toffee pudding; and just over the road, the Monmouth coffee shop for a good cappuccino- what more could you want?
