A place worth knowing

Walk through once before choosing what to eat. A market can be a shopping trip, a lunch stop or simply a good place to pay attention to what people are making. Leave room to change your mind.

The market normally closes on Mondays, with special bank-holiday and festive arrangements announced separately. Public areas are on one level, but surfaces and passage widths vary; Saturday afternoons can be busy. Free admission covers entry, not purchases or paid tours. The cover was photographed in 2017.
