5 years ago I lived a while in London. Just get me settled into an apartment in the west, but later I realized that
the trendy East Side was , where there were thousands of markets (then little known, at least by tourists ...), fashion design ... So I decided to move to that area.
The Last weekend, besides making the required tourism route, back to my favorite area and was just as I remembered. I'll show you four points if they ever going to London and do not know the area, ... it's worth it!
Gosset Street is the street where I lived, and this is the building where my flat! I did hope to see you again after so long ...
Nearby, almost in the corner, there are some streets where the houses are all alike, brickwork, low and with the doors each with a color, including the street is
Duran Street, the you can see a couple of photos. I love the doors pastel colors ... I love the number 24 because well this is my favorite number!
And if we passed on our tour Duran Street is no accident, but because the road ends at a park which is directly across Hackney City Farm
, yes, you read that right .. . It is a farm in the middle of the great city of London. If something in this city is that there are plenty of great parks and green spaces and one of them is the farm.
It's great to come to breakfast and get enough energy to keep walking all day. In addition there are plenty of families with children and they are delighted with the animals!
Before going to the markets and the most fashionable area, we can not forget to go to Columbia Road where it becomes the
Columbia Flower Market every Sunday morning. It's very interesting to see the number of flowers and the number of people coming together in this little street where you can hardly even walk from the crowded it is! Florists shouting their prices and it is interesting to see the flowers in England are quite different than those around here ... We know them but they are almost all our plants and flowers typical.
Finally, you can not lose everything that moves around Brick Lane
. On Sunday the street is a large flea market in clothing and accessories, second hand, useful and useless objects, food ... You can find anything. In addition, this area is the Sunday Up Market
(a flea market open only on Sundays) and Old Spitalfieds
Marke t from countless thrift stores, totally recommended! (We bought an old Polaroid, say it works but we have not yet tested ...)
I hope you enjoyed this ye tour virtual, y si vais a Londres aquí os dejo la ubiación de los lugares que os he mencionado:
