London
Exmouth Market is near the heart of the up-and-coming Clerkenwell neighborhood. The street it inhabits, also called Exmouth Market, has evolved rapidly in recent years, with design shops and restaurants moving into a once-scruffy strip. Only hints remain of Clerkenwell's history as home to London's Italian community; now stylish media types predominate.
A few food stalls expanded into a proper Friday and Saturday street market late last year. Among the offerings: Jollof Pot's tent dishes out spicy Ghanaian stews with rice, while Athill and his wife Tuyen Hong's Cà Phê VN serves strong Vietnamese coffee at low Asian-style tables with stools. Nearby, a whole hog roasts on a spit. Many of the street's restaurants and shops offer food at outdoor stalls. Middle Eastern-Mediterranean Moro sells paella, and Spanish deli Brindisa doles out chorizo sandwiches.
