Re: Aroids in London

The only land closed to the public is land that has hoofed animals (sheep, cattle, deer) on it. Since that sort of land amounts to about 1% of the entire land surface of the UK then you're not even REMOTELY affected by this unless you intend to spend your entire vacation driving across muddy farmlands! Markets: THE markets to visit are: Southall in West London (Sundays particularly good, don't plan to get there much before 11 and don't have breakfast that day - eat at the markets). By the way, Southall is a long shopping street rather than a market, heartland of the Indian and Bangaldesh West London community, and great not only for aroids but also food, textiles, spices, etc. Brixton in East London (Saturdays and Sundays) A real market, hearland of the Afro-Carribean and asian communities. Another place to eat at. Bradford (West Midlands). THE largest asian market in the UK. Stunning. Sundays very good.
