When I strolled down recently there was a new outdoor food and craft market. I was very very pleased to see that Neals Yard Cheese had a stall as usually you have to trek to Covent Garden or Borough market for their cheeses. Was lovely to be able to buy some really good, and not ridiculously priced food but wihout the business of some of London's other markets. I think the market's only there on Friday and Saturday; a lovely way to while away a weekend afternoon, especially as there are lots of tasting opportunities and a really good mix of well-known companies and tiny cottage industries.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9960 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9001 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9001 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/7366 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/7366 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3433 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3433 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3353
Here you'll also find the most authentic Spanish Tapas, hams hanging from the ceiling and saw dust on the floor, bar in London.

Via a short walk through the bustling Brick Lane you will come across Columbia Road Flower market. An oasis amongst Tower Hamlets, it is great fun to get tangled up amongst the tree ferns and orchids. Possibly a perfect Sunday for those that love London.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3353 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3351

There are open air BBQs at 1001 and gorgeous cocktails at the Big Chill. In winter it is quieter but still worth the effort.
