Worth visiting!

the most famous and oldest of all of London's street markets.

It was established over 400 years ago.

The market actually takes place in Wentworth Street on Monday – Friday lunch times, spreading on a Sunday morning to take up 10 separate trading streets, including Middlesex Street. On a Sunday there is a huge variety of goods is on sale including cut-price fashion clothes, fabrics, jewellery, china, toys, textiles, household gadgets and electrical items, but there is still a bias towards clothing, particularly leather coats.

The market is always very crowded. Prices are not always shown, so haggling may be necessary (and even where prices are shown, haggling is often accepted).
