5. Broadway Market
Price: Free
Location: Broadway Market (East London)
Dates: 25-26 January (Every weekend)
Who’s it for: Everyone
Sick of the long queues and over hyped tourist traps at Borough Market? Well have we got the next best thing. Broadway Market nestled in between the beautiful East London areas of Haggerston and London Fields is a perfectly sized weekend market that runs along one pedestrianised road, offering the best in independent food, coffee, art, and so much more.
Along Broadway market there are also some brick and mortar shops open all week long which provide the perfect spots for Brunch, Dinner and Shopping. From a local resident, it is strongly recommended that you try the Kyoto Latte at the % ARABICA Coffee shop if you're in need of your caffeine fix, you will not be disappointed.
