    Advantages Advantages A great day out.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Did not see any.

    I had arranged to meet a friend for our usual three monthly trip to an Art Gallery in London. Today though, was a busy day in London due to the Live 8 concert. On excellent advice I was sent along to Greenwich to a museum that I did not know existed. A museum which is the only one in the world dedicated to that kind of art. My other friends laughed as did the husband but there, I don't take any notice of them! So off we went to Greenwich. We had a marvellous day and such a good laugh and escape from our every day world. After a hilarious journey where we changed trains about four times and got ... more

    Advantages Advantages intersting products, something for everyone, great for gifts

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not a practical market

    London is a city full of markets from the carnivorous delight that is Smithfields to alternative teenagers all locking the same favourite Camden market. I like a number of the markets but I am a south east London girl and my heart belongs to Greenwich Market. If I have to buy a present for my nearest and dearest it is one of my first points of call in London. Greenwich Market is located in the hear of Maritime Greenwich two minutes walk from the river Thames and Cutty Sark DLR station. Its not immediately obvious just look or the archways and alleyways in College Approach, Nelson Street ... more

The Docklands Light Railway (DLR) stops at Cutty Sark, surface rail trains stop at Grenwich and Bus Nos ... more

    Advantages Advantages Good quality items on sale which many of the stallholders make

    Disadvantages Disadvantages A little bit out of central London

    Markets have been held in Greenwich for almost 1,000 years. Originally they were outlets for farmers to sell their cattle and other produce, and fishermen to sell their catch. The market held in the covered area off College Approach dates from 1831 and received its Royal Charter in 1849. It was originally an arena for the sale of general goods before becoming a fruit and vegetable market. In 1984 the area once more changed its purpose, and became host to the art and craft market held there today. Upon going into the market, you are confronted by this friendly inscription above the archway just ... more
