Petticoat Lane is probably the best market in London for budget clothing, and most definitely the place to come if you're looking for new leathers. The large selection of locally made leather jackets in the covered area at the southern end of Middlesex Street can be snapped up for less than half the shop price if you are prepared to haggle. When you do finally win over the seller, treat yourself to a cornet of fried king prawns in garlic and butter from the stall outside. Most of the other clothing on offer is standard market fare, but there is a stall selling French Connection seconds at bargain prices, and occasional designer clothes traders put in an appearance, too. This market begins at Wentworth Street at the beginning of the week and eventually lands up spreading to Middlesex and other trading streets by the weekend.
