7 London Markets to Visit (you never heard of) | Ad | Love and London

Borough Market is London’s most famous market, and yes it’s fantastic and has so much history, but there are plenty of other markets in London that locals love and that are just as great (and less crowded!) In this video I’m sharing eight Londoner-loved markets that are worth a visit to, whether it’s your first time visiting London or you’ve been here many times before.

Many of these London markets are hidden gems that tourists don’t usually read about. Some of them are centrally located to some of the major London attractions, but many of them require you to venture off the boring, beaten path, because well, that’s where you always find the best stuff when you travel. A few of these London markets have special places in my heart, and I think you’ll find one for yourself too.

This video is sponsored by Bimble, a new app that is great for saving your favourite places, and the gems you want to go to as you think about your post-lockdown travel plans. It’s really easy to use and you can share your lists with your travel buddies or friends.
I’ve made a Bimble list with all of the London markets mentioned in this video, so you always have them and you can easily save your favourites to your own list.

*All footage was filmed pre-lockdown, obviously!

Broadway market looks nice I'm going there when I take my trip to London

Love all these markets, especially Victoria Park and Broadway market! I used to live in the area when I was in uni and it's lovely in a local location and everyone has their dogs out haha

[davidpeasley]

Good stuff Jess; Bimble looks to be a way cool platform. The profile and its content look great! Keep up the good work.

Another great episode Jess thanks! The ropewalk thing to clarify The longer the ropewalk the longer the length of rope that can be made> I think that this still holds true today. I know it's way out of London but there is a working roperary in Chatham historic dockyard . The rope walk is covered and very long they used to use bikes to get from one end to the other. It's over 200 years and the rigging for the Victory was made there (as was the Victory)

Bimble actually sounds super useful, especially now as I’m trying to keep myself sane and think about all the potential places I can go when this all blows over. Loved this video as always

[dazza]

I don't live far from London and haven't heard of some of these. You know you stuff, well done.

Very interesting video Jess, thanks! ⭐️❤️🇬🇧
La Ferme: in French an E at the very end of a word is never pronounced, unless there is an accent on it, É or È.
(Indeed a lot of terminal letters aren’t pronounced... 🙄)
Ferme (“farm”): [ferm]. Fermé (“closed”): [fermay].

Hi, Jess, another very useful and interesting video. Bimble sounds very useful as well. This video reminds us of the days when people went out before lockdown started. I must add how much I enjoyed Saturday's quiz. I hope you do another. I was going to donate £10 during that but unfortunately I had an arguement with my password and the password won so I couldn't process the transaction so I will buy the colouring book instead. Anyone who didnt get the email ask Jess about the colouring book. Looking forward to your next video soon.

So happy to see new videos I'm planning a revisit to the UK after all of this crazy ... thanks for showing new place's to go and my favorite city in the world

[ponyrang]

Wow... !!! My best friend, Loved this video. Looking forward to see more. Awesome... Full watched.

[sdwis]

Really valuable suggestions. Almost none of the other tour guides answer this question about diverse and unusual shops and attractions.

Great video Jess. I'm hopefully going back to London this fall and I want to definitely check out some of these markets. Your videos are a big reason why I'm getting addicted to London....lol

[floydkennedy]

Jess - Thanks for making these wonderful vlogs about my hometown city of London! I am from Islington, but based in New Jersey! It's about time to head home soon!Keep up the good work!😎🇬🇧

[jennysmith]

Re-planning our trip. Thanks for this vid. Keep your chin up and stay safe!

[lucienbandet]

So useful ! Before finding out about your channel, I had been to London once, but as I didn´t know any of the places that you show us in your videos, I kinda did not make the most of it. My next trip will be much more exciting thanks to you.

[michellepeters]

Love this video. Will definitely take these options into account on my next trip!

[rigorodroman]

Love your videos. Started watching you when I was notified of my new job at Northampton. Moving from Florida to here (the UK) was a huge change. You have excellent communication skills paired with a beautiful face lol. Hails!!!

[Normanabutler]

Thanks for the 'Bimble' heads up. I always save my places of interest in my Notes on my phone but then they end up getting lost amongst all the other stuff. Bimble will be perfect as I always find interesting places around London that I always want to go back and visit later.

[monicaparker]

Thanks for all the great tips! Jess, just so you know Brill closed (after 20 years) in January 2020.
