Snapshots from London: The Real Food Market at Covent Garden
[Photographs: Carey Jones]
All right, London. You've already got Borough Market, the envy of food lovers across the planet. Need you really add another?
Held in the Covent Garden piazza every week, the Real Food Market brings together all sorts of vendors, including many Borough Market favorites, such as Neal's Yard Dairy, the Flour Station, and Shellseekers. After a special four-day showing during London Restaurant Festival, the market will convene every Thursday through November 5, and every Thursday and Friday, until Christmas, after that. Click through for our slideshow of the highlights.
Carey is over in London thanks to Visit London, the city's official tourist organization, in connection with Virgin Atlantic and the Intercontinental Park Lane.

The slideshow is all wonky on first viewing. I like the idea of this feature but it's not working very well. It also reverts back to the top of the page after each photo, which is super annoying.

Dont know if you noticed but every week 1 stall is run by a member of the UK Food Bloggers association, selling there own cooked foods

everything at The Flour Station is so good. I would go to the Real Food Market before class and get chocolate chip cookies, so yum. I also got some beautiful shots of cupcakes at this market.
Thanks SE, you're making me want to move back to London now.

I just returned from a year in London this September, and I still miss it so much! Thanks for all the great London foodie profiles. I wish i could be back there now...
