I head over to the indoor market, which apparently is London's only historic market set within a world heritage site. The market is open everyday from 10 am until 530 pm. The are up to 120 stalls selling antiques,, arts & crafts, fashion, souvenirs and food. The food is quite high end or 'foodie' as we often say, with 'street food' stalls outside. Vegans are well catered for and there is an excellent fudge shop, The Fudge Patch, where you can watch the fudge being made by hand. The staff here are very friendly and passionate about their product and are happy to chat with you and offer you samples. They also have plenty of vegan options. Being a Saturday in the middle of summer its packed so I head outside and come across Goddards traditional pie & mash shop which has been trading since 1890. A friend had previously recommended it it to me, so in I went. They have a selection of pies all handmade on the premises and cooked fresh daily. I went for the traditional minced beef with mash & liquor with a portion of hot eels and liquor. Fantastic! The pastry was excellent, nice crisp top and the the eels were lovely. The liquor is made from the eel stock, reduced with added parsley. Gravy is also available. The staff here are really friendly, proper Londoners. Prices are very good, highly recommend eating here.
