Greenwich Market
Visit Greenwich Market and seek solace from the cynicism of the high
street. The action starts on Wednesdays with food stalls and vendors
selling fresh produce, Thursdays and Fridays host a dizzying array of
antiques, collectibles and vintage stalls, and the weekends get lively
with all manner of arts and crafts, fashion, photography – with a real
emphasis on designer-makers selling handmade quality gifts, many
of them unique. Over 150 stalls combine to delight your senses.
