East Street Market

Walworth's street market has been running since 1880. Fruit, veg, clothes, household goods, and proper local atmosphere six days a week.

East Street Market stretches along East Street off Walworth Road and has been trading since 1880. This is not a curated artisan market — it is a real, working street market where local people do their actual shopping. Fruit, veg, fish, meat, fabrics, clothes, household goods, phone accessories, the lot.

Saturday is the busiest day with the most stalls. Sunday is quieter but still worth a visit. Prices are noticeably lower than supermarkets for fresh produce. Bring cash for some stalls, though more traders now take card.

Five minutes on foot from Elephant & Castle station. Walk down Walworth Road and turn left at East Street — you will hear it before you see it.
