While I'm on the subject of markets...

A footnote to my earlier post: I think markets are some of the best bits of London and I've just discovered that Wikipedia has the makings of quite a good guide to London markets. Here’s a picture of my local market, just up the road in Walworth, packed into a narrow street called East Street (East Lane to the locals for some reason) running between Walworth Road and the Old Kent Road. The building you can just see on the near right is on the site of an older building where Charlie Chaplin was born in 1889 (the anniversary of his birth is next Saturday).
