Question of the week: What's one of your favourite non-touristy things to do in London? "Among my favourite London places are the markets. I hadn't realized till I moved here how lively and varied they are. And busy, too. "Busy" here is the word used to describe a place that is crowded, active, packed, and so yes, these markets are all busy. After several visits you'll get a sense of what markets you like best, what stalls you'd like to revisit, and when is the best time to go. You have several markets not far from Kamen-Minerva, but perhaps you'll want to go further afield. Everyone raves about the bargains in Camden Market and Portobello Road, and besides those my own favourites are Borough Market for fish, meat, fruit, and vege from all over Britain and the Continent as well; Columbia Road Market for flowers from all over the world, and when nothing else will do Bermondsey Market for small mostly English bits of silver, one of a kind jewelry, and other curios that make nice presents for people back in the US." - Dr Holt.
