The vibrant new East Village fixture has been curated by Alistair Maddox, who ran the acclaimed Broadway Market for over ten years, and promises to constantly evolve, featuring a line-up of London’s talented traders with a special focus on East London purveyors.

Alistair explains “I have curated the market with East London in mind. We want it to enrich the local community, and offer sustainable and affordable retail opportunities that both visitors and residents can rely on each week. Being on the forefront of trends across food, fashion and lifestyle, the market will also regularly host one-off stalls and events that respond directly to the latest hot-topics making a splash on social media.”
