  1. Borough Market

    BoroughHistoric food market

    One of London's oldest food markets, tucked under the railway by London Bridge. Graze through it (cheese toasties, oysters, custard doughnuts) and go on a weekday morning if you can, since Saturdays are packed.

  2. Maltby Street Market

    BermondseyWeekend food market

    A narrow weekend food market along the Ropewalk under the Bermondsey railway arches, quieter than Borough and full of street food and bars. Saturday and Sunday only.

  3. Columbia Road Flower Market

    Columbia RoadSunday flower market

    A narrow East End street that turns into a riot of flowers and plants every Sunday morning, with traders calling out their prices. Get there early.

  4. Broadway Market

    HackneySaturday street market

    A Saturday market on a Hackney street running down to the Regent's Canal, with food stalls, bakers and coffee, then a picnic on London Fields.

  5. Portobello Road Market

    CamdenMarket & street food

    A sprawling warren of stalls around the Regent's Canal lock, from vintage clothes to street food in the old Stables yards. Open every day; crowded at weekends.

    A Victorian covered market by Liverpool Street with fashion, vintage and craft stalls and a good run of food kitchens, open every day.
