It was an unseasonably warm autumn morning, so I dragged myself out of bed to get some breakfast and wander about a bit.

Off I went to The Crystal Palace Market, an all day restaurant and neighbourhood market, complete with a butcher, fishmonger and greengrocer. You can pick the fresh produce and they cook it to your taste!

Spent just under an hour and it went from just 2 occupied tables to near full capacity. It is very popular among the locals.

Not having much of an appetite, I had the Egg Royale, Macchiato and a glass of Prosecco. I wolfed down the lot in 5 minutes and spent the rest of my time reading.

The service was quick and courteous. 

They do have weekly live performances, maybe I will drag my brother some time for dinner. 

After breakfast I spent another hour walking around Church Road. Hadn't done that in a while and I noticed a few new stores. Two well stocked vintage stores with little cafes and a book shop that runs sewing classes. 

I should give the West End a rest and explore my neighbourhood a bit more.
