Rummages through the vintage clothes, stalls on Portobello Road, and spots a bargain amongst the bric-a-brac at Greenwich Village Market - shops for fresh organic produce at farmers' markets, and pauses to listen to musicians play in Covent Garden - explores the best sights and attractions close to the markets, including the National Gallery, Kensington Gardens and St Paul's Cathedral - stops off for a salmon and cream cheese bagel or salt beef sandwich in Brick Lane market. 'It's 6.40am on a dark Sunday morning, and the Happy Inca has already been serving salt beef sandwiches for over an hour. Jewish food sold by a Peruvian: a taste of the multicultural East End.
Outside the caff at the junction of Shoreditch High Street and Commercial Road, a forlorn-looking gent stands by a fully extended fishing rod which overhangs the road. He's getting few bites, but his rod marks the beginning of Brick Lane market.'
