What is the best local market or shopping in London?

Our smart travellers say:

- Broadway Market is a great Saturday morning market with lots of organic and local products. It’s just north of hackney.

- Borough Market is the best for foodies. Open on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Get there early on a Saturday (before 11am if you can) because it gets really REALLY crowded. Then you can stop off for a coffee at the Monmouth coffee shop before heading home to eat all your purchases for lunch.

- Spitalfields Market a short walk from Liverpool Street station. Lots of varied stalls and plenty of places to eat and drink.

- Portobello Market over weekends for all kinds of stuff… food, fashion, arts and crafts.

An introduction to Holiday Accident Claims

By Freshoutsourcing

  When on holiday accidents can and do happen which can result in you suffering an injury. These accidents can often turn a pleasant trip away into a nightmare.

A holiday accident claim can arise in various ways. You could trip on an uneven surface or slip on a spilt liquid in your hotel. You could get food poisoning from poorly cooked food or you could be injured on a broken tile in the swimming pool. These are all examples of holiday accident claims that we have dealt with and succeeded with resulting in our clients being awarded compensation.

In order to make a claim following an accident on holiday you need to have booked the holiday as a package. This means that at least two elements of the holiday must be booked together. A common example is flights and accommodation.

Successful Holiday Accident Claims

It doesn’t matter if the holiday accident happened at home or abroad as long as it forms part of a package. The accident claim will be dealt with in this jurisdiction so you won’t have the problem of dealing with a claim in a foreign country.

In order for us to pursue a holiday accident claim on your behalf it is important that you have reported the accident or illness to the holiday representatives and hotel staff. Other things that will help your claim are photographs of the scene, medical treatment information and any witness details.

We sincerely hope that your holiday is enjoyable and you that you don’t need to make an accident claim but if you should suffer a holiday accident or illness we would be happy to discuss this matter with you. We can offer legal advice and assistance from lawyers with experience and expertise in holiday accident claims.
