Want to catch the real buzz of global London? Want to see its people up close? The markets of London have been going for centuries and are still bringing colour and culture to its streets. See them with someone who's enjoyed them for decades and knows the short cuts to the good stuff. From Shakespeare's stomping ground to the home of Punk to my East London there's something for everyone. Culture, history, art, food, drink, fashion. . .

We'll wander through the market and its stalls taking in the sights, sounds, and smells of London; meet some locals; visit historical spots to hear local history (from Shakespeare to WW2 to today); spot some street art; stop for coffee; get under the skin of the area in a way only a tour with a local can. Generally, we manage 1-2 from ROCK N ROLL CAMDEN - the most famous, busiest, and buzziest (7 days)! BOROUGH MARKET - bustling contemporary food market in historic Shakespearean Southwark (Mon-Sat). BRICK LANE - (Sun) street art, galleries & hip boutiques, flea markets, and street food.

See art, and secret gardens, and hear how Jewish locals fought off fascists PORTOBELLO - colourful cinematic Notting
