Brixton Market

I was told by others the Brixton Market is a real hipster kinda town but boy were we let down. Its probably more vibrant in the evenings when the rest of the eateries open up.

Brixton is more of a food market place with hippi-ish eateries spread within the Brixton Village and in the restructured shipping containers. The shipping containers here lacks a little luster in comparison to Christchurch's re-start mall and Incheon's photo iconic, Common Ground. 

We were were recommended Burnt Toast Cafe by the shop owner, and was told that often times, there's a long queue by Londoners for this eatery. He also shared that Brixton Market still holds the old hipster vibe of what Camden Town used to be before it became very touristy.

 Rosti with smoked salmon and eggs

 *Nicely prepared and in interesting take on potato rosti. Simple eats that's enjoyable.*
Pancakes with Bacon

*Light fluffy pancakes with a hearty serving of syrup and good ratio of bacon too.*

If oddeties, hipster eat and shopping are what you are looking for when in London, I'd recommend Camden Markets over Brixton. For something even better, take an hour rail journey out to Brighton Beach for indie shopping and good eats. A really worth while day trip out! Brixton is probably more lively for an evening meal.

An annual event that takes up a pretty huge area in Hyde Park. Its pretty much a combination of carnival games, rides, ticketed shows and loads of eats which seem to give off more of a Bavarian October Fest feel.

Free to enter, with rides starting from 2pounds up and pretty much all the fun rides goes from 6pounds-9pounds and up. There are ticketed shows within the compound which do not come cheap. 

The Christmas markets are always fun to see but lots of the retail aren't really around the Christmas theme. A good way to spend the evenings walking among the carnival/Oktoberfest like atmosphere and keeping warm by the fires.
