shopping in London

Want to go shopping in London? How can we not understand you: with the arrival of the first cold, with winter seems endless alternation autumn in a relay race, with the first to wear sweaters, of course awakens the desire of the beautiful walk through the traditional market. Looking for antiques, crafts, and why not even the first ideas for Christmas. Better yet if you're in London, where the markets really dictate fashion and trends, uniquely representing the cultural and social structure of the English capital. But where to go? We advise on all two markets: the first, the typical Italian name, is the Portobello Road, the second, more heterogeneous, is to Camden Town.
Portobello Road in the street (W10) of the Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea, is famous throughout the world for art objects and antiques. Prices vary widely, as Portobello is more than a place to stroll shopping ranging from pennies to thousands of pounds. The southern part is the most expensive: moving toward the north is easier to find things in lower prices and more details. Fruits and vegetables are on sale during the week, Saturday is the day of antiques, while the Sunday morning flea (Portobello Green). For older products, ethnic jewels and relics, the better to move the end of Portobello Road, Notting Hill Gate to.

The market of Camden Town, on the Camden Lock (NW1), is located right next to the canal lock: along the stalls and shops you can buy different food, furniture, ceramics, oriental carpets, clothes and musical instruments. And 'crowded especially on weekends, when the visit becomes a real race to buy the most eccentric and economically, including old clothes, vinyl records, items unlikely, unusual odors and ethnic groups that buy and sell throughout the neighborhood. Along Chalk Farm Rd, not far from the railway arches, the best part of the market, even with real gems from the fifties and sixties, still preserved in good condition.
