Brick Lane Market, London

Developed during the 18th century by farmers selling livestock and produce outside the City's boundaries, the market today offers everything from fruits and vegetables to reduced-priced goods and bankrupt stock. Set among the curry houses and Asian restaurants of the vibrant Brick Lane area - home to many of London's Indian community - the market bustles with activity and is the place to find bargains on goods, including televisions, clothes, cameras, bikes and - yes - even kitchen sinks. Choose amongst the Backyard Market that takes place every weekend and shop for knick-knacks or the Sunday market and sample the choicest of mouth-watering delicacies!
