【推荐2】Londoners love a market. It’s the combination of eating, chatting and browsing (逛), and lovely stuff. Locals and tourists continue to rush to the capital’s best stalls (货摊) and these days there’s a huge range of markets across London. Below you’ll find the very best markets in London.
Borough Market
Next to London Bridge, this food market has existed in some forms since at least 1014. It’s now best known as a foodie’s (美食家) paradise where Londoners come to buy top-quality meats, fish, fruits and vegetables, fresh-baked bread, cakes and sweet treats, oils and vinegar, and pretty much anything else they desire. Borough Market is open Monday to Saturday, with Saturday the busiest day.
Portobello Road Market
Portobello Road Market is really five markets in one, with different sections dedicated to second-hand goods, clothing and fashion, household essentials. You’ll find the greatest range of antiques stalls on Saturdays.
Brick Lane Market
The streets of East London’s Brick Lane are lined with stalls selling anything and everything on Sundays. You can find bargain fruits and vegetables, and electrical products, but this market’s Unique Selling Point is its unpredictability: You could bag a second-hand bargain, or spend hours selecting inexpensive goods.
Broadway Market
Since being reopened in 2004, this street market has become attractive to fashion lovers. It is packed every Sunday from 9 am to 5 pm with arty students and East End creative types filling their large bags with organic groceries, vintage clothes, fresh flowers, coffee, books and unusual handmade gifts.

【推荐3】Exploring Britain
Trains, buses and boats
London is usually a visitor’s first stop. There is the underground system, the oldest in the world, or the traditional double-decker bus. A boat trip along the River Thames takes visitors to the Tower of London, once a royal residence and home to the Crown Jewels. Several famous figures were imprisoned here—including one of King Henry VIII’s wives, Anne Boleyn.
Museum marvels
There are over 240 museums in the capital, but the two most popular are in South Kensington and cost nothing to get in to. In the Natural History Museum the key word is BIG—whether it’s a life-size model of a blue whale or a cross-section of a 1,300-year-old giant sequoia tree; even the state of Charles Darwin weighs over two metric tons.
An Englishman’s home
When exploring outside the capital, people usually visit one of the most spectacular, Warwick Castle. It has everything you would expect in a castle; to enter you walk across a drawbridge, but be careful. There are “murder holes” through which the occupant used to drop hot oil or boiling water on the enemy. Under the castle are dungeons where prisoners were kept.
Roman remains
Like many countries in Europe, the Romans invaded Britain. They settled there for 400 years, building roads, towns and protective walls. They also introduced water pipe and sewage systems. In Bath you can still see the original Roman bathing complex, complete with heating system.
