Markets

Sunday, August 31st
Bill took us on another walk this morning to some of the markets found around Liverpool St. in London. We started out at Petticoat Lane which was mainly street vendors selling clothing and other goods, not too much food (I bought a towel with a flower print on it…don’t judge me). After that we went to Spitafield Market (which is in the neighborhood where Jack the Ripper murdered all of those prostitutes). This was a nicer, upscale market complete with really awesome food (I had a long, thin flaky crusted “pizza” with spicy lamb meat, and it was great). After that, we went to the Up Market which was all about food (Indian, Japanese, Lebanese and one booth for English food). Then we made our way to the Brick Lane market, which was sketch. Random people on the side of the road with really old computer parts, shoes, clothes, etc.. Then we ended up at a Beigel Shop (established by the Jews in 1855). I bought 6 plain bagels for just over 1 pound, and they’re amazing. We’re definitely checking all of these markets out again in the coming weekends.
