Time Out says

What is it? 

This compact Hackney street, which neatly connects London Fields to the Regent’s Canal, has had a traditional fruit and veg market since the 1890s. But it went into steep decline in the ‘80s, and trade had all but petered out before the community relaunched it in 2004. It has since become a hub for the Hackney hipsters and East End creatives, bursting into life each weekend with more than 100 stalls popping up and people travelling from all over London to peruse its eclectic offering of food, drink and gifts. 

Why go? 

For the sheer array of sensational things to eat and buy. There’s street food from the likes of Deeney’s (Scottish toasties), Lord of the Wings, Makatcha (Indonesian-Malay classics), OSU Coconuts (coconut pancakes) and Zardosht (two sisters taking a fresh look at Persian food). There’s also lots of gift-inspo including Japanese stationery, screen-printed posters, second-hand clothes, vinyls and vintage books.

Don’t miss 

If you’d prefer a sit down meal, some of our favourites include five-star neighbourhood bistro Café Cecilia, casual Japanese joint Koya Ko, Argentinian grill Buen Ayre and seafood joint Fin and Flounder

Ticket info

When to visit

Time Out tip

Broadway Market can get very busy, especially when the weather’s good, so it’s best to allow plenty of time to avoid stress when browsing the stalls.

RECOMMENDED: London’s best markets
