This weekends adventure was the Chatsworth Road Market, it's a tiny market in the Borough of Hackney... on the way home we walked past a shop window with 2 bullet holes in the windows- which was crazy because it was a beautiful sunny day and it felt so good out there, had a really chilled out happy vibe to it.
We wandered the street lined with stalls, there was a selection of home made gifts, books, vintage and hot food. Everything you need in a market really.
On the corner of the street there was an old dentist where a band had set up shop and were playing some fantastic tunes, market with music is just that little bit more fun!
Ben and I of course had to taste the delicacies, we weren't brave enough for the haggis toasties so we got some arancini balls (the same i got from Broadway markets last week), some tempura prawns and we both got a pulled pork roll with crackling and apple sauce! it was devine and an absolutely delicious lunch!
We ate in the sun, and boy it was an amazing change from the bitter cold we have been dealing with.
Overall it was a great afternoon, we caught the bus so got to sit in the warm sun and peer out the window at the delights Hackney has to offer..
I am glad we managed to enjoy this little market, unfortunately it may not be around much longer, in its heyday (over 70 years ago) it had over 200 stalls and this has dwindled to about 20.
