Wapping is a hidden little gem and its best restaurant is the vibrant Il Bordello Italian. Always busy (even mid-week) so be sure to book a table. Huge pizzas and big pasta portions! Delicious!

Camden has a few markets. The Stables is probably the most interesting. Lots of independent sellers of clothes and arts. Great for gift shopping.

A microcosm of London's shifting ethnic patterns, the area around Brick Lane in East London was once associated with poor slums and the scene of the crime for the Jack the Ripper murders. Whilst the notorious pub Ten Bells still stands, the area itself is now extremely popular with London’s edgy and artistic crowd, featuring galleries, restaurants, markets and festivals throughout the year.
Market days Saturdays and Sundays, but great for a wonder (and for food!) any day of the week.
