London markets are more than just places to buy fruit, veg, flowers and bric-a-brac.  For years they`ve been hives of social activity and neighbourhood gathering places.

Walks are led by Sandra Shevey who originated the socio-historical overview of London markets.

A patchwork of old photos, prints, memoirs, as well as literary/film accounts is used to summon up a sense of these old relics in times past; and whenever possible we  endeavour to include in the itinerary views of extant market remains.

Current walks include:

• Covent Garden
  
  
• Spitalfields-Petticoat/Brick Lanes
  
  
• Southall Asian Market
  
  
• Whitechapel East End
  
  
• Borough Market
  
  
• Smithfield Market
  
  
• Bell and Church Streets

Among others to follow.
