Everybody knows about Borough Market but there's a lot of lesser known markets here in London that will give you not only a full stomach and maybe some souvenirs but just make you feel like you're a proper local londoner. Brixton Market covers a few nearby areas including Market row and Brixton Village, as well as Electric Avenue, Pokes Road and more. And a lot of these areas are all covered so you can enjoy them any time of the year. You'll find stalls and shops here any day of the week with about 80 traders on most of the time and you can find a huge variety of food options as well as a pretty interesting mix of different products for sale.
Leather Lane Market is only open at lunchtime during the week from around 10 a.m.. to 2 p.m., but the vendors usually open up more around noon. Clothing and accessories are sold at some of the stalls here but the real draw is the food, I used to have a client around here that I used to work at their office and man, I had some really delicious lunches from here. Two of my favourite options include Kin which has a take away time meal deal for just 6 pounds and there's two options one for vegetarian and one for meat, And Tikka Rito, which called itself healthy Indian get a wrap with my personal favorite paneer cheese in it. Here is a secret local tip if you need a spot to sit and eat your meal, head to Grayson square nearby, it's tough to find so I put it marked off on 'The Local Guide To London's' map which i'll talk about in a little bit.
On Saturdays and Sundays Flat Iron Square which is a cool little area any day of the week really post flea which is a funky little flea market with all types of stuff for sale most of its used vintage, really interesting stuff to check out, so have a browse through everything on a Saturday or Sunday and when you're done shopping there are plenty of food and drink options around for you to check out.
