Hi Lisa
Firt and foremost, son't worry about F & M. The only land closed to
the public is land that has hoofed animals (sheep, cattle, deer) on
it. Since that sort of land amounts to about 1% of the entire land
surface of the UK then you're not even REMOTELY affected by this
unless you intend to spend your entire vacation driving across
muddy farmlands!
Markets: THE markets to visit are:
Southall in West London (Sundays particularly good, don't plan to
get there much before 11 and don't have breakfast that day - eat at
the markets). By the way, Southall is a long shopping street rather
than a market, heartland of the Indian and Bangaldesh West
London community, and great not only for aroids but also food,
textiles, spices, etc.
Brixton in East London (Saturdays and Sundays) A real market,
hearland of the Afro-Carribean and asian communities. Another
place to eat at.
Bradford (West Midlands). THE largest asian market in the UK.
Stunning. Sundays very good.
