Question of the week: can you tell us about one of your favourite London markets? "If you're looking for something to do near the flats around lunchtime, head to Leather Lane and check out the market - it's the closest market to the flats, and it has something for everyone! Stalls range from fruit & veg, to bags, to toiletries, and it was voted the best market for fashion by Time Out! (Daddy Donkey was also recommended as one of the best burritos in London - but go early as there's always a long line!)
Leather Lane starts later than most markets - it really gets going around 11am, and things tend to wind up around 2pm, as a lot of people from the surrounding offices visit during their lunch hour. It runs Monday through Friday (except Bank Holidays).
To get there from the flats: Turn left out of the gate, turn right on Clerkenwell (as if you were going to the London Centre), then it's the third street on the left. You'll be able to recognize it by all of the stalls on both sides of the street (and the street sign on the corner). When the market is on the street is blocked off from traffic, so don't be afraid to wander down the middle and take everything in."
