On Sunday, this is one of the best Farmer’s Markets in London and we do our weekly shop there. Gets very busy with excellent stalls. I highly recommended eating a couple of oysters and then choose from either a dosa or dumplings to fill you up. On some weekends there is also a small independent market in the hall which has some great stalls - the recycled cashmere one is the best and Melissa has a slight addiction to it!
