The prices are as high as those in any fashionable capital city.1:23
But that's the price you pay for shopping on this street.1:28

The buzz on market day around Brick Lane in the heart of London's East End, is hard to beat.2:15
Every Sunday, as well as the usual stalls selling bric, a brac and clothing, you'll come across many more surprising offerings.2:22
More recently, Brick Lane has become home to several exhibition spaces and is also popular with fashion students who sell their creations on market stalls.2:31
Not all the art you'll see is for sale, though.2:44
You can have fun by looking out for art by the famous street artist Banksy.2:47
Whether it's clothes or cameras, perfume or pottery, you're sure to find it in Oxford Street, Europe's busiest high street.2:53
