Every first Sunday of the month Kew Village closes off it's stunning streets and becomes a bustling market with a multitude of different stalls selling cheeses, breads, vegetables and meats to chocolates, jewellery, soaps and other incredible crafts. This was the first Sunday of 2014 so we'd had it in our calendar for a while as a "must visit" and the weather couldn't have been more perfect, crisp and sunny. There were pushchairs, dogs, paper coffee cups and basket bikes in abundance, creating a very French market feel, the place just buzzed.
Everything was very reasonably priced with fresh loaves of bread from £1.20 and packs of fat organic sausages from £4. We made our way around stocking up on some delicious must haves for a diet cheat day.
There were tasters in abundance - some of my favourite, of course, being Ildiko's chocolate. Dark, milk and white chocolate, infused with some delicious flavours, these really were special and I couldn't help myself.
Every stall was so individual to the next, there was no shouting or jeering customers over, it was just relaxed, friendly and very vibrant. There was a real sense of community, which was understandable given how unique Kew Village appears to be.
Even Pizza Express had a beautiful and endearing facade.
As the market stalls began to shut down, we made our way back to the station ready to head home.
I really cant speak highly enough of this bubble of West London beauty.If you want to visit Kew Village then the next Market will be held on Sunday 2nd March with a list of stalls here.
I hope you all had great weekends.
