Becky’s Guidebook to Hackney
Food scene
Great place for foods and local craft traders. At the moment the market is open for hot food on a Friday from 12pm and Saturdays from 9am for cheeses, vegetables, cakes, local crafts and artists.
There are also lots of restaurants, coffee shops and shops in the area. Its also next to London Fields and the canal which you can take a short walk to Victoria Park. One of my favourite places to go.

Sightseeing
This is a great Sunday market but warning it does get busy as it is very popular amongst visitors and locals.
Its great to see the traders working and selling their wares and getting in amongst the hustle and bustle. You can also pick up some great deals on house plants and flowers. If you want to avoid the crowds I would recommend getting there early. Around lunchtime the crowds pick up.
Also very close to Shoreditch so can easily pop down to Brick Lane after to look around the market there.
