With its Victorian heritage, Old Spitalfields Market is one of London’s oldest and best-loved markets. The east London destination prides itself on its independent traders, small producers and artisan outlets to keep the thousands of daily visitors fed and watered. From the trendy Crosstown Doughnuts, serving Matcha Tea and Yuzu sweets, to The Duck Truck, famed for its pulled duck brioche bun, there’s something to tempt every taste bud.
Set in a former truck depot in Shoreditch, Dinerama is a great spot for a Friday night bite to eat. Open from 17:00 – 01:00, Thursday – Saturday, this street food market is dotted with stalls and experiential drink outlets such as Yumplings, Club Mexicana and Thunderbird, with food and good vibes served to the sounds of DJ sets at weekends.
Every Saturday from 10:00 – 16:00, Duke of York Square in Chelsea is transformed into an open-air fine food market. Situated near to the renowned Saatchi Gallery, this quintessentially British market is home to an array of locally produced food stalls. Don’t miss traditional British fish, chips and mushy peas from Fins & Trotters.
Lynne Staartjes, trained pâtisserie chef and founder of Sweet Tooth Tours, takes visitors on a bespoke tour of the most indulgent treats that Chelsea has to offer. On the Signature Tour, you’ll visit a local cake shop, a Sardinian gelateria, a British chocolate maker and a cheesemonger, to learn about these delicious products and how they’re made.
(Some say) Borough Market has been serving the people of Southwark for 1,000 years, and that extraordinary heritage is an important part of its appeal. The market is home to an array of fresh food stalls selling artisan foods, as well as trendy restaurants such as Hawksmoor Borough, Nine Lives and The Roebuck.
