Wood Street Indoor Market

Built around a horseshoe corridor, this Walthamstow market packs a whole lot into its snug space. The 30 sellers offer a mix of vintage toys, alternative cabaret outfits and stacks of old records. It's a proper east end institution, filled with Wood Street locals and cockney accents. It's one of the few places in London where you can fill your shopping bag with old books and magazines without breaking a tenner.
