Guidebook for Greater London
Food Scene
This food market has loads of different cuisines from Italian to Vietnamese. It's a little quiter during the day and they tend to run workshops.
If you go on a Saturday or in the evening the atmosphere is always buzzing and you can sit inside or outside and hear live music playing.
This is my favourite place in my neighbourhood, if not London.
