London is justifiably proud of its markets, most of which date back to mediaeval times. They tell the history of London: Borough Market, the oldest, has lost its mediaeval clamour but retains its Dickensian air - it's seen a revival as an organic produce market and film-lot. Some, like Camden and Portobello are thriving, Camden's turnover makes it Britain's 4th largest retailer. If you want to see these ancient markets in operation you must get up early in the morning - by 03:00 hours Smithfield is well underway, and the pubs and cafes are doing good business. The shortlist: 1) Spitalfields / Columbia Road (SUNDAY ONLY) 2)Portobello 3) Camden 4) Covent Garden 5) Greenwich Bermondsey Antiques market, famous for once being where thieves could sell their goods with impunity (a royal license meant that stolen goods bought here did not have to be returned, and subsequent legislation - repealed as late as 2000, restricted that to being before sunrise, hence the market's early hours.

4 more images Update April 2014: ticket prices revised, attractions updated, hotel information added, new photos If you’d like to visit a classical English country house while in London, Syon Park could be just what you’re looking for. The redesign of the house under Adam took place in the mid 18th century and was accompanied by a redesign of the grounds as well, led by the famous landscape designer Capability Brown. These grounds are one of the things we most enjoy about Syon and make regular visits to see. Combined tickets for visits to both house and gardens cost £11.50 for adults, £10.00 for concessions and £5.00 for children, with family tickets at £26.00. But once you have exhausted the pleasures of house and gardens, there is still so much to do here. With all these attractions, and other shopping opportunities too, plus a café, you can see that it would be very easy to spend a whole day, and a whole lot of money, here at Syon.
