London is at the forefront of the creative industry, and brings it's own unique English style to the international fashion and design scenes. As a result you'll see that most of the big brands are represented here, but as may notice in our guide it's the up and coming retail that you'll want to keep an eye on. Keep away from Oxford Street and you're bound to find something a little more unique.

The stalls have a similar sense of style and it's mostly about finding the best quality of the item for the best price, also making better partnerships along the way. Vintage, tattoos, leather, corset dresses from the 16th century upgraded through the years along with their style of boots and leather jackets!!

Take the long route and walk there over London Bridge for some mean views of Tower Bridge. Once there, you can buy yourself lunch and then simply peruse through the various stalls, taste-testing the other treats on offer. Finish it all off with a pint at The Rake. It may be the smallest pub in London but it's more than a little bit awesome.

You'll be spoiled for choice here, there's everything, it's quality, and it's reasonably priced. The only downside is having to decide. Grab a drink while you explore the winding lofty arcades and find something that takes your fancy. Sit in the market rows and enjoy the live music while you eat, then walk it off to Federation for a coffee after.

It is a good way to get a quick, healthy (take out) meal in central London. It is close to many of the theatres in the West End for people looking for a more casual pre-show meal, but it is great for anyone passing through the area wanting hot or cold, healthy take out food. If anything, visit for the ambience.

Kristina attracts music fans and artists from all over London. It's generally pretty quiet inside, and DJ's will appreciate the opportunity to contemplate selections and give tracks a good lengthy listen before deciding what they want.
