Do you love to wander around in markets? St. George’s Market is with no doubt one of the most exciting shopping experiences in the UK. It is considered the oldest attraction of the city. The origins of the market go back in the early 17th century.
The actual market is extremely popular among both local people and visitors. Housed within a wonderful Victorian building, the fresh products and delicacies of the Friday and Saturday Markets made this place an important visitor attraction, too.
