Maltby Street Market
About Maltby Street Market
A compact weekend street food market tucked along the Ropewalk under Bermondsey's railway arches, with a relaxed atmosphere and a strong mix of food and drink traders.
History
Maltby Street Market began around 2010, when several food traders set up in the railway arches of Bermondsey. It soon grew into a weekend market along the Ropewalk, a narrow lane beside the viaduct.
The market became known as a more laid-back alternative to nearby Borough Market. The surrounding arches are also home to breweries and bars that form part of the Bermondsey Beer Mile.
What to Expect
Expect a narrow, atmospheric lane with stalls on one side and bars tucked into the arches on the other. It is small enough to see in an hour, so combine it with a walk to Tower Bridge, the Bermondsey Beer Mile or Borough Market. Saturday lunchtime is the busiest time.
