You have so many great tips already, but in your neighborhood, pop into Vessel on Kensington Park Road, and hit all the streets between Portobello & Kens Park Rd from Westbourne grove to westbourne park grove. from there the walk to Holland Park via Clarendon Cross (Cath Kidston) is lovely & the park itself is a hidden gem. Also don't miss the shops in and around the Old Truman Brewery by Spitalfields on Sunday.

Re the Sunday markets, Spitalfields has had its soul ripped out by a horrible corporate developer. Try Sunday UpMarket on Brick Lane instead (and check out the shops on Cheshire St). Also, Columbia Rd is amazing, and there are a bunch of adorable shops tucked off the main strip. They're all within walking distance of each other, so you can hit all of them in a day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30414727.post-4375604556316958272009-05-05T09:59:00.000-07:002009-05-05T09:59:00.000-07:00So fun!

Greenwich markets are cool, look for a shop called Lush ( they used to have a stall but now have a shop)<br />Portobello Road tends to be quite pricey. You could maybe do a day trip to Brighton, they have some pretty good antique shops. Or just hire a car and explore some of the little towns more to the south. Maybe even try the Chiswick boot fair for interesting bargins.<br />Other than that I'd definitely try and get in at the Ritz for afternoon tea, or the Berkeley Hotel does a fab fashionista afternoon tea with cookies shaped like shoes and little custard filled handbags!<br />And dont forget to pop into Fortnum and Mason in Piccadilly - its beautiful.<br />Have fun!Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10983820871455593835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30414727.post-60745922755596141122009-05-05T05:36:00.000-07:002009-05-05T05:36:00.000-07:00Oooh, while I remember - Covent Garden Market is n...Oooh, while I remember - Covent Garden Market is not all people seem to think it will be. Pretty to look at, but mostly big chain stores have taken over what once were fab little boutique shops.
