While some meme pages would have you believe that Clapton is solely a playground for young affluent creative directors sporting Maison Margiela Tabis, Top Cuvée tote bags and Good Squish scrunchies, there is in fact more to the east London area than that.
E5 is actually home to one of London’s oldest and most historic markets. We’re talking about Chatsworth Road Market. Beginning in the 1930s, the east London bazaar used to be home to around 200 stalls and open up to five days a week. Now it’s a Sunday market that specialises in street food and is home to independent sellers flogging everything from second hand books, to handmade jewellery.
We now have good news, because Hackney Council has given Chatsworth Road Market a lovely makeover. Now, every Sunday the street will be transformed into a fully pedestrianised shopping and eating zone. And the market is getting bigger.
To create more space for vendors, browsing and socialising, now every Sunday from 6am to 8pm, between Dunlace Road and Blurton Road, there will be no vehicles.
To celebrate the change, Hackney Council launched the new iteration of the market on Sunday, August 24 with live music, drumming workshops and kids’ play areas.
Fancy checking it out for yourself? Chatsworth Road Market takes place on, you guessed it, Chatsworth Road, every Sunday from 10am to 4pm.
These are London’s best markets according to Time Out.
