An Opinionated Guide To London Markets Book

Roll up, roll up — An Opinionated Guide to London Markets is your shortcut to the capital’s most vibrant, eclectic, and downright irresistible stalls. From antiques to artisanal cheese, vintage fashion to seasonal blooms, this book rounds up 61 of the best markets in the city, each one hand-picked and properly reviewed (no tourist traps here).

Written by Sonya Barber, with photography by Chanel Irvine, it’s packed with character and charm — a celebration of London’s age-old obsession with buying, selling, snacking, and strolling. Whether you’re after a loaf of something slow-fermented, a mid-century lamp, or the best salted caramel brownie this side of SE15, there’s a market for that — and it’s probably in here.

Each listing includes honest insights, beautiful visuals, and a handy “best for…” section to help you plan your perfect rummage. Compact, smart, and carbon neutral, this guide is a must-have for Londoners and visitors alike.

Because some of the best things in life happen between a trestle table and a paper bag of warm doughnuts.
