Sandra Shevey - London's markets are still the things which about London remain real.  They haven't lost the smell- the touch, of actually being and doing.  They are not museum pieces.  They are not introspective or self-conscious.  They are rough, rude and ready places where things happen and people connect.  And for the observer they are rich tapestries of London life.  You can learn more about London in five minutes at a market than by spending years at university.

John Sargent, Archives and Local Studies Manager, Westminster City Archives - The Sandra Shevey Market Walks must constitute an unique attraction for visitors to London as well as residents, regardless  of how long they have been resident or how well they know their town.
