London is filled with markets of all sorts and kinds. They sell things ranging from foods, flowers, clothing and much more. These 5 local markets are loved by London locals!
1. Borough Market
London’s oldest market, Borough Market, offers a quality selection of foods, organic and fresh from the farm.
It’s a truly unique experience to walk around the market stalls. The smell of the out-of-the-oven baked goods and sweet delicacies is incredible!
The entire market is covered, so even if the weather is rainy, the market can still be enjoyed.
2. Columbia Road Flower Market
Each Sunday afternoon, East End London Street is transformed into a giant flower market. The stalls are packed with wildflowers, potted plants and bouquets to die for.
3. Maltby Street Market
Borough Market can be a bit crowded sometimes, but luckily there’s a mini version called The Maltby Street Market.
The street is surrounded by warehouses where every weekend a market pops up for high quality coffee shops, wine bars, fish vendors and cheese specialties.
During the week, the warehouses are used by factories, distributors and businesses, but off of work the space transforms into this lovely market!
4. Old Spitalfields Market
For a more hipster vibe, the Old Spitalfields Market sells everything from vintage boots to vinyl records, art deco sofas and much more!
This market thrives on the cultural and cool vibe of the London neighborhood.
5. Pimlico Road Farmers’ Market
With beautiful trees around, the heart of Belgravia becomes a great farmers’ market on Saturdays.
The small Pimlico Road Farmers’ Market sells food items from fresh seafood from the East Anglian coast to homemade cheeses and fruits from the Chegworth Valley.
6. London Farmers’ Markets
At last, London’s own Farmers’ Markets are filled with tasty treats, local delicacies, farm-fresh produce, vintage items and experiences that will keep locals coming back each weekend!
