Leadenhall Market
This place is awesome!! I love when you find cool, interesting spots that are off the beaten path! I had seen shots of Leadenhall Market and it was #1 on my list for my recent trip to London. However, it is not really close to any of the standard sites that tourists would normally wander across, and as such I had never come across it on previous visits. (Did I just describe myself as a tourist? Oops.)
With the help of Google Maps, a printed map, and of course the London Underground - I eventually got there, and all I could say was WOW!
Leadenhall Market is a covered market which sits in the historic city center of London, and is still in use today. There are a variety of shops here, from a butcher, a florist and as you can see also cheese and chocolate shops (plus a whole lot more).
Thankfully, it was a Saturday morning and everything was closed. Apart from a few tourists and a couple of other photographers, I essentially had it to myself. And yes, I took a million pics so this is the first of many more to come!
