East Street Between Walworth Road and Dawes Street London, London SE17 |
East Street market is a busy local market which primarily serves the needs of the community around it; you won't find any antiques or crafts here, but you will find absolutely anything that's edible or wearable. Sunday is the best (and busiest) day to visit - stalls selling bargain fruit and veg, clothing, plants and bric-a-brac are squashed in between the street's shops so it's not a good place to visit if you don't like crowds. There are a few pleasant surprises if you take time to look at the shops and cafes themselves - Barneys Textile Centre sells some lovely fabrics, and Er In Dawes is the epitome of the greasy-spoon cafe. East Street also has one other claim to fame - it's the birthplace of Charlie Chaplin. Review © 2009, Wcities |
