From cheap yet amazing fabric deals to fresh groceries, nothing gets missed at this market. And don't forget to have some falafels while you're there, they are rumoured to be one of the best!!

3. Traid 👚👕

Traid is a charity shop which has some of the best deals, especially if you are a uni student.
