Wife and kid away in Ireland, nothing to do last Sunday so I decided to check out the 'Carnaval del peublo' in Bermondsey, a Latin American extravanganza!
I walked from London Bridge down towards Elephant & Castle and then down to East Street Market, a traditional London street market, fruit and veg and loads of stalls selling cheap socks, clothes and other poorly made essentials, a dying breed! And then further up Westmoreland Street Market, a throwback to dickensian times, bric-a-brac and nic nacs sold by the poor but cheerful locals, see http://delsarto.wordpress.com/category/il-castello-e-lelefante-elephants-project-and-westmoreland-market/ for some great photos.
From here I walked to Burgess Park for the carnival, which was great, good food, beer and music.
Bored with London, Ha!
