Saturday at Broadway Market is like an escape from reality. I've never seen so many cool people in one place at one time. I heard about Broadway Market from a trend forecaster at WGSN. She said "Brick Lane is out, you neeeed to go Broadway," and so I did. She was right. Tourists don't go there, probably because its too far out of the way (well except for me I guess) in the middle of Hackney. The market spills over into side streets, and their worth checking out as well.
Who knew a farmers market could attract such a cool group of people.
What to buy: Artisan breads, meats, cheese, or shop for vintage right on the street.
Who you'll see: Locals from Hackney, hipsters, trendsetters, parents wheeling babies in prams.

Must try: Vietnamese coffee (ask for condensed milk). One of the many pubs and cafes that line the street - if you can manage to find a table outside, great for catching up with friends, drinking delicious lattes and watching crazy fashionistas. Crazy in a good way.
Don't miss: The Schoolyard market, around the corner. Stalls literally in a school yard. Sit on fake grass and eat your vegan curry.
