Royal Charter London Street Markets Walk

3 hours

Full description

The old street markets are one of London`s most enduring characteristics and on this daily 3 hour tour with guide Sandra Shevey you will visit three different markets across 33 boroughs from a remit of 15 traditional London street markets. The tours run every day but at different times to showcase the markets both at night and during the day.  The Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday tours run at 6pm and end 9pm while the Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday tours run 11am - 2pm.   The Christmas Eve Day tour is great inasmuch as we capture a bit of the traditional meat market auction that features in Dickens`s `A Christmas Carol` .Sandra Shevey`s documentary on heritage London street markets has been shortlisted for  awards and is screened regularly at film festivals, most recently at the London Socialist Film Co-op (president Ken Loach) where it received a good response/ Sandra Shevey`s blog `Markets and Market Towns` was shortlisted for the UK 2017 Business Travel Journalist.
