There's Ridley Road, Columbia Road, Brick Lane, Roman Road, Camden Passage, Portobello, ... Many more. Different character to each of them. Greenwich Market is about to be closed for several years: http://www.greenwichmarketconsultation.org.uk/ Although I broadly support the proposals (as, I think, do most of the local people, and organisations such as the Greenwich Society), it will be horrible while it's closed, and I very much hope that it will retain the same character when it reopens, and that the rents won't be so high that only the national chains can afford to take a place. In the meantime the outdoor market should continue to grow. It has a very different character from Camden Lock, and there's plenty of scope in London for both (and for the others you mention).
