I don´t remember the name :D
I was long time ago in Bermondsey market, I am going back to London this weekend and wanted to go back, however I have heard that the market is not what it used to be, does anyone knows which is the status of it?
The other qestion is, if I want to go to greenwich by boat, where can I get info about where to take the boat, timetables, etc...??
Thanks a lot
You'll find timetables, fares & other info about the Greenwich boats here;

Did you mean the Bermondsey antiques market?

Having not been for many years, I cannot say whether it is not what it used to e. But I would not expect to find any bargains there or in any UK antiques market, to be honest..sellers nowadays are very aware of the value of what they sell.
There are three markets in Greenwich - the main covered market in the town centre and two smaller ones near the Post Office, The indoor market is very good - its very much craft based. My Greenwich pages have details of all of the towns markets.
Forget Bermondsey Market, it is overhyped on the basis of a former reputtion (allegedly in ancient times the authorities could not recover stolen goods from it), nowadays it is full of tat, and anything worth having you will pay through the nose for. If you must go, get there early, it tends to close by about midday.
Hope this assists,
fergy.

See London Bridge.
Long of 905 ft.
Built at the narrowest point of the Tames at the same place of the antic Roman timber bridge.
It was frequently damaged by flood, ice, fire, boats
It is one the London symbols.
One of my favourite monuments in London, because it is low key and very tastefully done, is the fountain commemorating the Canadian soldiers who fought alongside British soldiers during the two World Wars. It is located at the South end of Green Park, next to Buckingham Palace. The fountain itself is formed by two triangular planes in which water flows slowly. Both planes are imprinted with life like Maple leaves and are surrounded by real Maple trees. In autumn, the real leaves mix with the fake ones to add a natural touch to the monument.
explore every nook and cranny thoroughly here at ST PAUL'S CATHEDRAL.
This church is a fine example of a great Renaissance architecture - a masterpiece by Sir Christopher Wren. In the side aisles, you can find gravestones honoring valiant military heroes and outstanding painters who were trail blazers during their day. And you MUST check out the impressive Whispering Gallery! Wanna make a wild guess how it got its strange name?? Why, yes! It got its name from its INCREDIBLE accoustics. Did you know that if someone whispers a word, you'd still be able to hear it at least 30 meters away?! Amazing!!!
London judges her people's breeding through their accents. There's countless accents being pronounced here that sometimes you think that some of them are speaking in a foreign language. The Queen's English, is of course, the definitive proper English accent. I must admit, she is a lot easier to understand than some of the characters you will meet in London.
