Farmers Markets

While London has tons and tons of markets, which sell everything from food to antiques to clothes and general bric-a-brac, true farmers markets with locally-grown produce are true gems. The London Farmers' Markets association provides a list of bonafide markets for local food. While other sites may be more packed and more tourist-known, these other sites are worth checking out!
