Advantages: A great day out. Disadvantages: Did not see any.
...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 lost at Canary Wharf we arrived ... ...They were off to visit Greenwich as well and did not quite know where they were going. So after a jolly conversation with them we said goodbye and have a nice day.
We walked towards - where my nose was leading me (and that is normally towards food! There were many, many places to eat!) We walked about 800 metres and fell into a really cheap book shop. Every book was £2. I declined thinking of my bursting book shelves, my friend bought two books. ...

Advantages: intersting products, something for everyone, great for gifts Disadvantages: Not a practical market
...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, Greenwich Church Street and William IV Street that surround the market and ... ...style foods.I love visiting Greenwich Market on a weekend as there is a little bit of everything in what they sell. Its not a practical market though. If you are looking for two pounds of bananas for a pound, screws, a dodgy mobile phone cover or polyester jumper head to Deptford or Lewisham markets instead. What Greenwich does offer is th best in arts, crafts, gifts, clothes and food. The market management gives priority to small creative businesses ...

Advantages: Good quality items on sale which many of the stallholders make 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 ... ...collectibles market on Thursdays.
Greenwich has a seaside atmosphere and on a sunny day it is hard to believe that it is located in the London area. There is so much to do that it is impossible to view all its attractions in one day. If visiting the art and craft market is on your agenda, be aware that there are several markets in Greenwich so make sure you go to the right one. It is held in the covered area in the centre of the main shopping area ...
