One of the vendors at Chapel Market. For £3.00 I can eat all the Indian curry I want! How rockin' is that.




THE REAL GREEK - Greek
2A Southwark Bridge Rd SE1 9HA.
Up Great Dover Street, past Borough Statio and up Marshalsea Road, up Southward Bridge Road.

Apparently this place is host to a wide variety of fresh fruit and veggies! Located north of Aldwych; nearest tube station is Angel.
