I am researching London's many markets and wondering if there is one similar to the Mercado San Miguel in Madrid? One where you can gather a plate full of little items and enjoy them with a glass of wine or beer at a communal table?

Hello from Wisconsin,
As a child reminded me once when discussing apples, "similar but not the same'". Google 'Old Spitalfield's Market'. It's big.
The market in Madrid is unique. Somehow it is not packed with 30-year olds with too much money wanting fancy whiskeys. Other "markets" in Madrid aren't really markets.

I'll chime in to say that the markets in London aren't like San Miguel Mercado and honestly wasn't as impressed with them. However, OP should definitely check out a few in London just to see the differences.
