It’s not Portobello Road, but it’ll have to do for this trip.
On other days Old Spitalfields Market is a mix of new, crafted and retro chic in the midst of a neighborhood known for its trendy shops – a destination for those in search of whats hip and what’s hot.
But on Thursdays, it’s just antiques.
And that’s hot enough for me.
Believe it or not, I bought nothing.
Having arrived at the end of the day after a late lunch across the street at St John’s Bread & Wine, some stalls were already beginning to close.
So I decided to just putter around among the remnants of lives once lived instead of spending my time looking to find that perfect thing.
A new experience for me,
and one that I highly recommend.
Oh yeah.
I forgot.
They also had cookies.
So I guess you could say I did buy something.
