About Broadway Market

A much-loved Saturday street market between Regent's Canal and London Fields, lined with food, produce and craft stalls plus independent cafés, pubs and bookshops.

History

Broadway Market has been a trading street since the late 19th century, serving the working communities around London Fields. Like many local markets, it declined during the 20th century as shopping habits changed.

In 2004 local residents and traders relaunched it as a Saturday food market. It has since become one of East London's best-known weekend destinations, while the street's shops and cafés keep a strong neighbourhood feel.

What to Expect

Expect a busy, friendly Saturday crowd and plenty to eat. Graze your way along the stalls, then carry lunch to London Fields or walk down to the Regent's Canal towpath. Arrive in the morning for the best choice and shorter queues at popular food stalls.
