Markets have been a part of London's history and culture for many years and no doubt they will continue to in years to come.

We can start off with Spitalfields Market, which is great as it’s open all week long, but for those fashion finds to make sure you head down on Saturday as it completely transforms into one of the best spots for all thing fashion. They have eighty-eight individual fashion stalls for you t...
