What sort of thing do you want to buy? Wembley market is good for clothes but I think Brick Lane is more diverse

i'd say greenwich has the best market..clothes , antiques, furniture, arty crafty things, and the best sausages this side of watford gap.

Columbia Road Flowers Market is a breath of fresh air in Hackney. It's not too far from Brick Lane. So you could kill 2 birds etc.

Brick Lane is also right near Spitalfields.

There is a gorgeous bakery (or it may be a butchers - I can't quite remember) on Columbia Road that does the most wonderful bagels....proper ones too!

Can't beat Portobello Market in Notting Hill... such a wide range of goods on sale from wonderful veg and fruit to clothes and antiques.... the range of cooked foods for sale is amazing too........ guess it depends on how far you would have to travel from wherever you are staying....

Brick lane is so poor now its breaks my heart! Our family had stalls down there for over 76 years and we were the last of the few regulars left, the market is now full of casual's who turn up now and again rip off the tourists and then dissappear for 2-3 weeks to return when most have returned home and cannot return the goods they bought.

Go to portobello road its still a wonderous place to go and the atmosphere is fantastic.
