Chatsworth Road Market

Clapton's Chatsworth Road sure is old. In the '30s it had up to 200 stalls peddling their wares up to five days a week but petered out in 1990 leaving Chatsworth Road slightly bereft. In November 2010, a band of locals and traders aimed to bring back the bustle and campaigned to get the market back on its feet. After two successful test runs, Chatsworth is back as a weekly market with more than 40 stalls selling gourmet foods, vintage bric-a-brac, crafts, cakes and preserves, clothing, jewellery - and more than its fair share of hipsters.
