Today I went to Brick Lane again. I went later in the day than last time, and it was really. really. REALLY crowded. But I guess as Susan said, it adds to the atmosphere.
We decided to ditch lunch at halls (cos Sunday food is generally quite unimpressive) and go for the ethnic food at the market instead. I had Moroccan Chicken and Spinach curry with cous cous. SO GOOD!
We walked to Petticoat Lane Market nearby while eating our lunch. I didn't like it. It was too commercial, and the clothes there were just cheap rubbish.
So we walked back to Brick Lane.
There was a little place with real vintage stuff, and some of the stalls were offering hire for photoshoots etc. It was pretty expensive, but what else do you expect for real vintage. A lot of the stalls were quite cute, but I didn't take any pictures, cos some of the stores had signs saying no pictures, and even if they didn't, the owners got grumpy at you if you took pictures.
Turns out what I thought was Brick Lane Market last was actually the Sunday Upmarket on Brick Lane, and Brick Lane market itself was further north on Brick Lane with all sorts of bric-a-brac. We walked all the way up and then all the way to Shoreditch High Street station. Just a slow afternoon walk looking at random things.
I got a piece of red ribbon for free :) I just wanted something to put in my hair and I asked how much a bit of red ribbon was and the woman was like pssshhhh just have it. So yay!
And I bought an old key.
