- Everyone knows London Bridge, Oxford Circus,
Borough Market, but I'm going to show you
some of the coolest areas around London to check out,
that you've probably never heard of.
By the way, if you're new here, I'm Jess
and I make lots of videos for people who are coming
to visit London and want to see the cooler side
of the city.

We're in the area of Clerkenwell, which has lots
of really good pubs and restaurants, but the standout
spot is Exmouth Market.
During the week at lunchtime, there is a pop-up
food market where you can get a really good affordable
lunch, by the way, make your way down Spa Fields Lane
if you want a cool little park to have your lunch in.

Even if you visit Exmouth Market when it's not lunchtime,
on a weekday, there are tons of really great food
and drink spots as well as shops to check out
while you're here.

London Fields is in East London, and it's a favorite area
amongst Londoners.
Besides all of the great pubs, bars and restaurants
that you can check out around here, you can head down
to Regents Canal and go for a cycle or a walk
along the river.

This is also where the world famous Columbia Road
flower market is.
It happens on Sundays.
It does get really busy so once you've checked it out,
and you've had enough, make sure you head over
to Ezra Street and get yourself some oysters
or a pint while you sit on the sidewalk and enjoy
with the rest of the Londoners.

During the Windrush hour in the 50s, much of what became
the British Afro-Caribbean population settled here
in Brixton, so this is the best place to come
if you want African or Caribbean cuisine.
I'd recommend heading to Brixton Village or Market Row.
That's where you'll find those places.
You'll also see a bunch of boutique shops
and other types of restaurants too.

Do me a favor, write down in the comments
if you're now going to visit any of these areas
that I just talked about and don't forget,
before you come to visit London, watch one of my other many
London tip videos.
They'll help you to get the most out of your visit.

By the way, make your way down Spa Fields Lane,
a bug just flew in my eye.
