1. Columbia Road Market 



Perfect for you flower lovers out there! This road comes alive on a Sunday and is absolutely jam packed full of flowers. It is a 20 min walk from Liverpool Street, Via Brick Lane or can be access from Bethenal Green Underground which is a bit closer.

Best times to visit - It has a magical feel around Christmas




2. Brick Lane 




Well this is a kind of obvious one.. Accessible from either Aldgate East Underground or Liverpool Street, this east end street is a hub of street food and vintage fashion during the weekend, and is still pretty busy during the week due to the amount of businesses local to the street.

Things you must try - The Mexican street food is insane and the underground vintage market.
It's also home to a variety of pop up shops including Cereal Killers (Expect a massive queue at the weekends)

Top Tip - Go via Spitafields Market for some more quirky stools.



3. Hoxton Square 

Home to some amazing quirky bars and restaurants, including The Breakfast Club and Molly Bakes Hoxton is a hub for the young east end Londoner, and actually some business men due to its proximity to Liverpool Street.

Hipster Must Have - You are guaranteed to find a bar that serves an alcoholic beverage in a jam jar.






4. East London Thrift Store 




Feeling like Macklemore and Ryan Lewis, you can shop till your drop filling a bag up for just £10!
Not only is this insanely fun, you can get some great goodies, from vintage Nike to Levis and pimp'in fur jackets.
Just a stroll down the road from either Whitechapel or Stepney Green, this store is hidden down a little alley in East London.

Top Tip - Go on a weekday or it's manic at the weekend, and make sure you bring some sturdy bags to carry the massive haul you will inevitably get.


5. Camden 


This is for all you baby hipsters out there.
It has all the fun of Brick Lane, with the food markets and stools, but on a much more mainstream basis. Most stools are open all week, bar the actual market.

Best Place for - Crap you don't need but you want anyway
