A trip around London’s markets
London is a gold mine for anyone looking for unusual and original items.For anyone looking for alternative shopping Camden town is heaven, an area which has kept its working class character. In the seventies and eighties it became a trendy area: Verlaine and Rimbaud lived there. The centre of life in this area is the market, which has increased in size and is open every day. It’s an excellent market for clothes, both new and second hand, records and all kinds of other objects. Whilst walking around Camden Town it is not rare to meet curiosity-seekers and all kinds of people, such as punks or dandys. Even on classic rainy days Camden town makes you cheerful and full of life; it is considered by many to be a place not to be missed when visiting London.Another lively market is the one situated in Portobello Road, where it is possible to find all kinds of antiques, as well as used records, antique clothes and jewels stalls. The best day to visit the market is Saturday, from early morning to circa 4.30 p.m.

Natural History and Geological Museum
This is where the natural history collections of Sir Slogane where moved to, which were the museum’s first collections. The museum is in a Victorian building designed by Alfred Waterhouse.The Natural History and Geological Museum is now one of the largest natural history museums in the world, with more than 65 million finds exhibited. In recent years the museum’s departments have been substituted by theme exhibitions, which bring together audio-visual and computerised aids with interactive mechanisms. In this way visits to the museum are transformed into an experience similar to the special effects of JurassicPark.
