Brick Lane Market in London

in #travel7 years ago

Continuing with my insights into London's headen geams and not known to the average tourist. East London host one of the most popular markets in town, on Brick Lane. What used to be a dodgy run down area, it now turns into an extremly trendy and popular with hispsters and young artist who would pay premium to live in this buzzy are of shoreditch.
It trades most on a Sunday just bacause many moons ago it used to be a predominantly jewish area, which means Saturday was a no no. However this has changed over the years and it now busy over the whole weeknd and more bangladeshi then anything FB_IMG_1517527851459.jpg

You can find anything here from an overflow of vintage clothes and vintage anything to delicious streetfood or old war gas mask.

Nothing surprises in Brick Lane. Anything goes. Having your hair cut in the open air, have some jerk chicken cooked right in front of you or some japanese food. All whilst listening to all kind of artists musician or performers who ard trying to make a quick buck.

The pictures could go on and on. But I will stop here. I would say do take a walk down Brick Lane on a Sunday. You will enjoy colorfull street art and also noone is the same. Popular with artists of old sorts everyone is looking to look diffrent and reflect on individuality.
I will leave you with this lityle board photographed on thus unique street
