Chrisp Street Market, London

Chrisp Street Market sells anything and everything from plants to underwear, clothes, bed linen and kids' toys; all at prices you can afford. On Fridays and Saturdays you'll be in for a treat as far as exotic fruit goes as the market is awash with vibrant colours and subtle fragrances. And if you're into dressmaking, there are plenty of fun fabrics to work with. A fishmonger and butcher are permanent fixtures in the square and, if searching through all those bargains gets a little tiring, you'll get plenty of refreshment from the multitude of snack bars that adorn the street.
