Walking in London | Collecting the fresh look of the weekend: the London Market Treasure Map

Written by Chloe & Tiffany. Photography/ Tiffany. Part of Images Courtesy of the Markets (stated). Wake up from sleep in the morning on weekends, the alarm clock is one day off today, stretched out and saved the body and mind from the rush of work. Fingers skip the bound suit and put on the most comfortable jeans. The days without plans are best for a day out in the market. The market in London is endless, but loves the authentic atmosphere of life in the city. It was only dawn on Friday, and the Bermondsey Square Antique Market gathered a group of treasure hunters, holding a magnifying glass and screaming, exposing the desire to dig. If it's a lunch on Saturday, take a cup of caramel macchiato and set off for the Borough Market under the bridge. The food stall along the road is responsible for satisfying your lazy taste buds. Put on sunglasses on Sunday, go to the Columbia Road Flower Market, and get a cup of sunshine and flowers. Buy a bunch of lily or a pot of vanilla on the window sill. From weekdays to holidays, randomly select a spot on the London Market Map to experience the lively atmosphere of the city. Broadway Market|The English-inspired flavor, and the wonderful "food" light have been met on busy working days. On the morning of the holiday, you have no plan, just want to find a place to let the body feel the leisurely pace of the weekend, and do not want to meet the crowded Shopping crowd, then Broadway Market is the best place to relax. The earliest history here can be pushed back to 1890. After the bombing of the Second World War and the falling communities, the market declined once. Until 2004, through the promotion of local community self-help, it was revived to today's vigorous development. Business hours are from morning to afternoon every Saturday. Whether you are going out early in the game or getting back home in the evening, you can see London's full-fledged side as you pass by.

Remember the circus platform of Kaohsiung Weiwuying at the end of 2016? From the small circle of grass to the outdoor stage, the workshop to the circus and juggling performances brought a variety of surprises for three days, and it also set off a circus boom. The timing came to the Tainan Arts Festival at the beginning of this year. The Taiwanese native circus "FOCA Formosa Circus" cooperated with foreign circus directors to bring out "I Have My Demons Have Me" in Tainan. The Cultural Center’s Thousand People’s Theatre performed, and the circus boom once again hit South Taiwan! British circus director Timothy Yuval Lenkiewicz. Image Courtesy of Taipei Picnic Club.

British swing | The city is not old, the music is not dead: the rock story of the streets of London

You don't write songs like "God Save the Queen" because you hate the British nation. On the contrary, you are doing such a song because you love them. ——Johnny Rotten, The Sex Pistols As the largest city in the world, London can be said to run through the whole history of British contemporary pop music, a cultural cradle full of individuality and diversity. The British pop music to this day is from rock, hip-hop to electronics. Music, experimental music, etc., in every field, there are musicians who lead innovation and change. In this ever-growing music base, walk into the streets of the city and explore the transformation of London music. The origins of London's musical culture can be derived from Carnaby Street in Soho, the western part of the city centre, which was already famous in the 1960s; it was once the legend of the British rock in the Beatles, the Rolling Stones and the Rolling Stones. The gathering point of the characters is also considered to be one of the signs of the Swinging Sixties. Representing London in the 1960s, it was because of this spiritual foundation that the small shop style on the Carnaby Street street was independent and rebellious, which also set the cultural atmosphere of the city of London.

On Sunday, from the Sunday Up Market, the glass windows of the market reflect the crowds lined up in front of the snack vendors. The hot air was so hot that it was flushed. Walking through the "TRUMAN" bridge, the coffee 1001 barbecue aroma is on the left, and the music played by ROUGH TRADE is suitable for a beer. Step on a short section of the real "brick road" where the high-heeled girls frown frequently (this is probably the only brick road left on this road), go straight to Bethanl Green Road, always forget the Beige Bake bite beef in the noodle shop fruit. Although second-hand clothes, groceries, cafes, and small bars are all the way to the end, the eyes are still in the shape of those who pass by and dress up; the unique group of characters in this area, some holding bouquets, long The peacock feathers are scattered on the clothes, revealing their whereabouts - guess, the Columbia Flower Market in the north must be equally lively.

Counting the years in London, because the studio where I was working was on this street, and I walked around in the area almost every day. The fairly straight street name corresponds to the old building that is still preserved today, covered with red bricks, the unrenovated street profile, and the Liverpool Street Station...
