One of a kind collection of poems devoted to the distinguished London markets. Through rich vocabulary and inspiring watercolour illustrations, the author recollects her impressions of the mysterious and celebrated institutions:
Alfie's Antiques
Bayswater Road Art Market
Berwick Street Market
Church Street Market
Covent Garden
Gray's Antiques
Marylebone Farmers Market
Portobello Road Market
Billingsgate Market
Brick Lane
Columbia Road Flower Market
Greenwich Market
Leadenhall
Petticoat Lane
Smithfield Market
Spitalfields Market
Borough Market
South Bank Book Market
Camden Lock
The journey takes the reader across London and across time. It illuminates on the traditions and customs that shaped the markets through their rich history and embellished them with masterpieces by renowned architects. It presents the modern image, fuelled by globalisation and commercialisation. It accentuates the significance of the demographics in defining their future.
The little treasure trove is not a guide with addresses and numbers. Instead, it is a companion that paints a unique picture of a selection of markets from a perspective of a Londoner, who spent decades observing the transformations.
Markets is the 6th book in the LONDON BABY series. Make sure you experience them all!
