London’s late-night food market is rocking Shoreditch

Food markets are springing up all over London, but when this night market opened in Shoreditch last summer, it offered something different - a playground for the fun-seeking youngsters who roam east London of an evening. Within the blink of an eye it was gone again and the cool kids had to return to the default drinking dens and late night kebabs.


This year it's back with a slightly different crowd - local families and food lovers by day and revellers by night. Red Market is running on Thursdays and Fridays from noon-11pm, with an extension lasting until Fri 19 October 2012.

  • Hi - Does anyone know if this place is still open - It states there is an extension until 19th October on here but on the Redmarket website there is a posting on the 27th September that says they are now closed.

  • As a local resident in Old Street I really hope you re-open this year as the streetfeast market has just had to move to Camden. I fully support the late night markets as it provides so much vibrancy to the area. Let us know if you need any local petitioning to help get this acheived?? Looking forward to this opening up!

  • Taco Truck traded at Red Market last year and had a great experience. The place was just full of people with cool attitudes out for a cool and chilled out experience. It's only logical that this type of thing should be encouraged...

  • Oh pleeeeaaase let Red Market happen this year 2012. It has so much potential and was so well organized + no troubles crime wise. It was a little gem making use of a space in a really creative way. Surely that's what London's artistic areas are all about and should be encouraged for cultural growth.
