Covent Garden
Outdoor / Flea / Green Markets, Covent Garden
Fodor's Review:
Crafts stalls, jewelry designers, clothes makers -- particularly of knitwear -- potters, and many more artisans congregate in the undercover central area known as the Apple Market. Stall holders change depending on the day of the week, so if you see something you like, don't wait -- buy it. Prices are high, but some of the merchandise, especially jewelry, can be clever and original. The Jubilee Market, toward Southampton Street, is less classy, with printed T-shirts and the like, but on Monday has a worthwhile selection of vintage collectibles. This area is, frankly, more of a tourist magnet than others, and you won't find many locals shopping the stalls. Keep that in mind when judging what you spend in this popular place.
