Markets in London! [Shopping!]

Okay! Here's the second part of my London trip!
This post is all about the markets and shopping... Awesome, I know ヅ
Enjoy! And just hit me up if you have any questions! I'll do my best to answer!

Picture one: The Borough market is a wholesale and retail food market in Southwark, South East London. It is definitely worth a visit! It is one of the largest food markets in the world, and sells a large variety of foods from all over the world! Even though you don't plan on buying anything there, it is still very interesting to just walk among all the stands and smell the fish! 
Picture two: Borough Market. The wholesale market operates on all weekday mornings from 2 a.m. to 8 a.m., but the retail market operates only on Thursdays from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., Fridays from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m., and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Picture three: Lost in Borough market ? Follow the signs! 
[Take the subway to London Bridge subway station]
Picture four: Borough market. Got fish ?
Picture five: Chapel Market! I absolutely loved this market! There are lots of things to look at; from jewelry, bags and clothes to fish and vegetables! It is open every day except Monday, operating in the mornings only on Thursday and Sunday. The market is only 2-3 blocks long.
I bought 2 pairs of pants and I absolutely love them. (I'll try to remember and put them up here too later on!)
The guy who sold them was so nice! When I bought the first pair he said I'd be back for more. (I was like; uh... yahh, sure, dude). But I wore the pants that evening and I immediately said I had to go back to get another pair... and I did :)
Take the Subway to ANGEL station, and then it's walking distance from there!
CAMDEN MARKET!

Picture one: The Camden Market! This was my absolute favorite place in the whole of London. BEST shopping ever! I spent SO many hours here! Both because I loved it, but also cause it never ends!! The first day I went through this market, but the next day I found another one right next to it, and another one, and another one! Me likey! Oh, and be sure to bring your haggle skills! You can get stuff really cheap if you're good at it! I had lots of practice in Kenya so I did good!
Picture two: Clothes, clothes and more clothes! Everything from Goth, Rave and Hippie style, to "ordinary" 
Picture three: More of Camden Town 
Picture four: Camden town. Obviously this is where you get off the subway if you want to go shopping at Camden market! 
Picture five: This is where I got my nose pierced! The woman who did it was so sweet! So if you want to get something pierced you should go to her. Although, you do have LOTS of places to choose from. Same with tattoos. The tattoo studios are all over the place! Me likey!
Picture six: I bought my super cool green hat here 
Picture seven: Camden Town!

Picture one: Stables Market! At the end of Camden Town, you have Stables market on your left side.. And yeah, it's huge! You have huge selections of clothes, jewelry, accessories and all kinds of food! It smells incredible, and you won't be able NOT to eat while you're there!
Many of the places have free samples... so you could just go around the entire market and pick up samples... I assure you you will be satisfied!
Picture two: Stables Market. You have a top floor, middle floor (in this picture it is the way down to the middle floor) and ground floor... It took me some time to find them all, but if you have the time, don't stress...Just walk around and enjoy! 
Picture three: Stables Market.
Picture four: Stables Market.
Picture five: Horse Tunnel Market, another part of Stables market. Lots of vintage stores! 
Picture six: The prices here are more fixed than haggle-able (stables & horse tunnel)... but you can always try

Picture one: I love the way they think.
Picture two: One more of Camden Town, heaven on earth.
Picture three: Oh yeah, if you're in the mood for a swede...or a spanish...
You can buy them here!

And before I end this post, here's a picture of London's Subway map. It's really quite easy to get around, both with subway and bus!

OH! before I forget, if you're gonna be in London for at least a week, do buy the weekly card for the public transport. It's a lot cheaper than day passes... I'm sure they have like a London pass as well, that gives you even more discounts. I never got that there though.
But if  you get a weekly card you need a picture (ID size)! Only you will be able to use it.
Well, okay, I'm sure anyone can use it, but you might get busted when they do random checks on the subway stations.
Cheers mate!
