For an authentic slice of London a trip to one of the city's unique markets is a must! With over forty to choose from, each with their character, we have selected three of the best in Market Fresh.
We start our morning at Brixton Market, South London; a cacophony of sights and smells, music and stalls that has changed little over the years. Much of Brixton's unique character comes from the local community: young professionals; multi-ethnic Londoners; and the occasional visitor. And while Brixton itself has felt the onslaught of gentrification, its character continues to thrive and move with the times.
From here we head to Borough Market; a must for all food fans. Firmly established as one of London's premiere sources of good quality fresh produce, here you'll meet farmers from across the UK. Sample the food and talk to stall holders and meander through this charming market.
We finish our tour in one of London's best kept secrets: Exmouth Market. Situated just north of central London the area is a haven for style-conscious, melding character and charm with off-beat boutiques.
Market Fresh is a great way to be part of London's kaleidoscope of people and locations as the locals ease into the weekend. ... read more »

Westminster is the very centre of royal and political London: home to the Queen and Parliament this area is synonymous with pomp, pageantry and power. On this walk you will see the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben, as well as Buckingham Palace, the Queen's London residence, plus Westminster Abbey, church of royal coronations for 1000 years. But behind Westminster's corridors of power are plenty of tales of gossip and intrigue - political, royal and religious. Hear these stories as we explore the rarely visited 18th century back streets and enjoy one of London's most beautiful parks (and maybe see the pelicans that live there). Striking modern architecture is found in Westminster too, providing the wonderful contrast that helps to make London such an intriguing city.
