Thinking of going to this as it is only 1 hour from Cambridge.
Can Anyone give me their views as it sounds a good place to go.

Are you sure??????

Parking is diabolical, you are guaranteed a ticket. Its mainly a clothes market now, the fruit and veg and other foods has been shoved out by the clothing stalls. If you are going by car then I would not leave it too late as getting back onto the M11 is chaos. Must be a closer market to you that is miles better than whats left of one of Londons premier markets,

My advise anyway. someone is bound to disagree.

Being an ex-pat Eastender I agree 200%. It was a nightmare 30yrs. ago, let alone now

Thanks for that, It had been given a plug by a chef on GFL and thought it was a good place to go.
Maybe I will give it a miss unless someone can convince me otherwise

As a Leytonstone girl - I used to go there a lot shopping as a child my mum would take us in to Rossie for a knickerboker glory fantastic - it was a brilliant market but is has lost it's shine, i live out in Surrey and drive in to Croydon Fruit and veg market on a Saturday morning - Parking is great yes you pay for it but you can park.

Try Croydon Fruit and Veg market you will love it

I remember Walthamstow maket too,we went there during the 70,s and it used to be stalls of clothing,jewellry,household stuff and some fruit and veg.We lived in Leyton since 1966 to about early 80,s

Hello Sesley

I lived in Fillibrook Rd Leytonstone, until 1990, our house was then made complusory order for the M11. a friend of mine lives in Frith Rd, Leyton. I used to go the the 3 Blackbirds pub on the odd night. It has changed so much now - did you ever go to the open lido in wanstead park?

We lived in Colville Road,which went under the M11 too,went to Connaught school in the 70,s and went drinking in the 3 Blackbirds at lunch break sometimes birthdays,Christmas,etc, I worked in the Vet across the road.I don,t remeber using the lido,but did use Cathall Road old swimming pool.and the pool at Leyton Green.I have got old.

I lived in E17 till 2001. The market's OK if you live on the doorstep, but I wouldn't make a trip especially! Get the train to London and go to Borough Market instead.
