The Sunday UpMarket at Brick Lane, located in a car park at the Truman Brewery, contains a little bit of everything for visitors. Brick Lane's market also extends down from the Sunday UpMarket and past Sclater Street. Second-hand items can be bought on Sclater Street, which used to be a market selling pets and exotic birds until the 1980s. Further up the road and about a ten-minute walk away is the colourful Columbia Road Flower Market, which is also held on Sundays.
Amongst the crafts, jewellery, clothing, books, stationary, artwork, and vintage items are baked goods. The baked goods always look so good.
I decided to try brownies from the cheekily-named 'Bad Brownie' stand. The brownies looked so good, and they also tasted nice. I had a chilli brownie and a triple chocolate brownie. There were so many different brownie flavours to choose from. (For more information on Bad Brownie, see their Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/BadBrownieCo.)
