The city of London, the world’s financial capital has a strong network of old markets are historically significant. The photowalk through the oldest markets in London made me realize how they had contributed significantly to the city’s local economy.
1. The Spitalfields market does not just have food stalls, but also proper shops, and stalls with unique design or vintage pieces. At a first glance, the market seems pretty new, but when you probe deeper, you find out that the entire area of Spitalfields,and �the people associated with it have a long history. The fact that international artists, dedicated a part of their life to this neighborhood is interesting.
2. � The most beautiful historic part of the cityis the�Leadenhall Market. It is a well maintained building with alluring architecture and the decoration. This market is different from the others as it does not have stalls, but just closed shops. On Saturday all the shops are closed, just like everything in the City, but that give the opportunity to focus on its best characteristic: its exteriors.
3. Going ahead, we pass through narrow streets of London and come across the Old Billingsgate market, laid down besides the River Thames, in between London bridge and �Tower Bridge. Once, the world�s biggest fish market� is now a hospitality and events venue in the City of London.
4. Time for the riverside pathway, �Borough Market, the oldest and apparently most famous market, in London is situated on the opposite side of the river. �It is the only one in the South side. Do stop to taste some of the dishes from all around the world. This market also has the oldest and the most beautiful churches in London.
5. The last stop of the day was the Covent Garden market. With posh shops and luxury boutiques, it is still well preserved. The ideal time to visit this market is Christmas time as its fabulous decorations are a visual treat. However history still preserves itself in the form of a few old shops, that occupy the corners.
