Are there any carved African masks available in any London markets?
 
I'm a collector of African masks and am wondering if any of the market places in London have these available. Thanks.

There are three predominantly ethnic stret markets in London, Brixton Market on Electric Avenue (Brixton tube), Ridley Road Market on Ridley Road and Shepherd's Bush Market on Goldhawk Road (Goldhawk Road tube). These are probably your best bets. The market at St. Martin-in-the-Fields church sometimes has interesting ethnic handicrafts buried amongst the souvenir Tshirts.
