Petticoat Lane

So that was a long day! Our location is badly affected by the train stoppages so much debate takes place about how to get from here to there (the debate isn't just between Bill and I - the staff at the stations give us a different opinion at each stop!) Oh well, we get where we want eventually and are only too aware of the importance of the system to the population here and how amazingly well it works. Our station should be up and running again tomorrow for our last two and a half days in London.
We started out at Petticoat Lane - not far from us. Sunday is the biggest market. The name of the lane was shocking to Victoria's London so changed to Middlesex. But Petticoat Lane Market not only survived but was made official by an act of parliament in 1937. If you are looking for a bargain in clothing, this is the place.
