MaríaJanuary 27, 2018A wonderful find! The variety of foods is great and there are plenty of places to sit. Get some sweet potato fries from The Argentine Grill and stock up on Italian delicacies from the Italian shop.
Heather RodriguezOctober 1, 2016This place is gorgeous. Great options for delicious variety of food and drink. Go on a weekday so no one is there. Best new farmer's market. About 10m walk from Borough market
- Alina GhiocaJuly 23, 2016Amazing new culinary experience in London! Try the stracciatella di bufala and gnocco fritto with mortadella.
- Matilde FelicoriFebruary 3, 2017Best Italian food in London. I highly recommend "Pasta" corner where you can have very nice tortelloni. There is also an amazing place for tuna, I loved the tartare. Finally, best ice cream ever!
- Zina MeeksFebruary 27, 2018Argentine grill’s mixed platter was great! I would have liked a thicker cut of the beef but the chimmichuri sauce and sweet potato fries were amazing!
Delicous Italian fare. Don't miss the Enoteca with beautiful Italian wines to drink in, or take away, towards the very back.
Santi ZFebruary 2, 2017Great please for a date or to spend some time with friends. Lots of places to grab food and drinks from and then there is also the cosiest little Backyard cinema with a bar and super comfy beanbags!
Patrick FAugust 3, 2018One of my favourite food places in London ... so much choice including great pizzas, ramen, Lebanese, Mexican, fromages, Argentine grill, trattoria, gelati.... and lots drinks
Joe RoffenheimsworthFebruary 20, 2017Nice and chilled Sunday afternoon. The Italian Job Brewery have a large selection of beers (Czech Norris was the one!) and the Mezze food stall was on point.
Fish FishJanuary 14, 2017Fantastic and also surprising that somewhere like this is a permanent fixture. Lots of tasty delights to be found to take away or eat right there. The Italian Craft Beer Bar is the bomb!
Gorka GuridiSeptember 24, 2018Amazing place. Bigger than it looks. Bring here anyone visiting you in London. A brewery, handmade ice-cream, a ton of food stalls... I can't write it all here! :)
For starters, you need to try the focaccia recco, the stracciatella di bufala and the 'dolcevita' gelato.
New set of market stalls with Italian, French and other produce. A 'Southern' version of Borough Market
ChaundraFebruary 14, 2022Fabulous selection of good stalls and beverages. Something for everyone - Mexican, Italian, Vietnamese, Turkish, Uzbek, Nepalese and everything in between.
Ale TowerMay 1, 2017Fun spot to hang around at and try different foods and wines, and great there's a mini market where you can buy the produces too.
Tom DuncanMarch 2, 2019Amazing atmosphere, really cool place. usually quite busy but amazing beer and food. I'd recommend the Neapolitan pizzas and also the kebab platter!- Joshua MawDecember 1, 2018It’s a bit expensive but a cool place to hang out. Feels less corporate than BoxParks (although the vendors are less independent than boxpark really)
Ashleigh HunterJuly 27, 2019Great lunch options + lots of seating indoor and out. £5 lunch deals mon - wed. Try halloumi salad bowl and flatbread or Vietnamese chicken rice bowl 👍
You can find anything and everything. Feast of street food. A bit expensive but worth all.- Soft launch until the official opening on the 15th Sept. Plenty of good Italian food (but quite on the expensive side)
Buket DemirtaşJanuary 16, 2018Too many choices: steak, fish&chips, hamburger, falafel, pizza, ice-cream, beer, and even cinema. You can sit both inside or outside; prices are average
Cyndie Da RochaDecember 30, 2016Amazing! Not only italian food but also stalls of Lebanese, Spanish, French foid among others. If you are on a cheap budget best is to eat in rhe covered market.
Florina TudoseJuly 25, 2016What an amazing place, with lovely food and super friendly stuff. A must go.
Great food, loads of choice, good atmosphere. Loads of places to sit, only niggle - the security is rude and downright aggressive in tone.
David RMay 29, 2019Nice food market, crazy busy even on a Wednesday night. Lots of benches, live music, and outdoor area makes up for the elevated prices.
Joanne WilliamsJuly 30, 2018Only negative is prices are a bit steep but the ceviche and fresh pasta I had were delicious. Fun atmosphere and great selection
Go to the little car with fairy lights in the back corner for amazing cocktails.
David John SimpsonAugust 2, 2017There is a fantastic variety of food options; albeit it is a little to "perfectly" artisan - almost contrived?
Tim O'DonovanMay 10, 2017Love this place. Amazing variety of food and drink vendors. Great seating areas, inside and out.
Dormingo L.September 27, 2017If you order an arepa, ask them to put plenty of guasacaca, which is a green sauce with plenty of flavour but not hot.
Alberto MenegazziApril 27, 2018Loved Italian foodScrappy place, but excellent for a casual lunch or dinner with friends
Jason QuarisaSeptember 21, 2017Great selection of food with indoor and outdoor seating. Great venue to catch up with friends!
Kornelija MaceviciuteJanuary 18, 2019Good place to hangout with friends! Food and drinks for every taste at a reasonable price.
Tom WoolvertonDecember 5, 2017Great variety of eating places. Casual dining, great food and couple of places to drink too.
Caitlin HillSeptember 11, 2018The Meat Platter with the ribs - it’s probably big enough for four, so maybe order one first if you’re in a group
Gerard ReigMay 1, 2017In the beginning they only served Italian food, but now you find pretty anything. I still recommend pasta or cheese, and the icecream!- Excellent new Italian farmers market. Food, wine, craft beer and an Italian supermarket
Yiota PapJune 4, 2019Perfect destination for a relaxed day out with loads of options for food an drink
Laura LaussadeMarch 26, 2018Go to bbq joint here. Totally worth it. I’m from the US and haven’t found such good and juicy brisket in a long time in Europe. And the queso fries were so addicting I couldn’t stop eating them.
Valentina CiolinoMarch 26, 2018It keeps evolving: shop became smaller but added more tables to sit and eat in, street food area became fuller with cool stalls
Kostas StaverisJanuary 10, 2017One of the best places to be in London, great market , even better the food ..
Ross GroomJanuary 2, 2018All year round this place is great. So much to choose from and fair prices too.- Raoul FisherNovember 1, 2016The food is good, and the selection of stalls ok, even on a quiet midweek winter evening... 8 Minutes walk from Elephant and Castle Station.
