One of a kind collection of poems devoted to the distinguished London markets. Through rich vocabulary and inspiring watercolour illustrations, the author recollects her impressions of the mysterious and celebrated institutions:

Alfie's Antiques

Bayswater Road Art Market

Berwick Street Market

Church Street Market

Covent Garden

Gray's Antiques

Marylebone Farmers Market

Portobello Road Market

Billingsgate Market

Brick Lane

Columbia Road Flower Market

Greenwich Market

Leadenhall

Petticoat Lane

Smithfield Market

Spitalfields Market

Borough Market

South Bank Book Market

Camden Lock

The journey takes the reader across London and across time. It illuminates on the traditions and customs that shaped the markets through their rich history and embellished them with masterpieces by renowned architects. It presents the modern image, fuelled by globalisation and commercialisation. It accentuates the significance of the demographics in defining their future.

The little treasure trove is not a guide with addresses and numbers. Instead, it is a companion that paints a unique picture of a selection of markets from a perspective of a Londoner, who spent decades observing the transformations.

LONDON BABY Markets is the 6th book in the LONDON BABY series. Make sure you experience them all!
