Best Street Food Markets in London

London's street food scene has grown into one of its best value dining categories — dedicated markets bringing together dozens of independent food vendors, often at significantly lower prices than sit-down restaurants for comparably high-quality food.

Kerb Markets

Kerb runs several rotating street food markets across London including King's Cross — consistently good quality with vendors that rotate regularly, keeping the offering fresh.

Model Market & Mercato Metropolitano

Mercato Metropolitano (Elephant and Castle) is a large indoor Italian-focused food hall with consistent quality. Model Market in Lewisham is an underrated South London option.

Broadway Market

Hackney's Saturday market has an excellent food section alongside its produce and craft stalls — a good combination of shopping and eating in one visit.

Tips

• Street food markets are consistently better value than sit-down restaurants for comparable quality.
• Arrive with an appetite for trying multiple small dishes rather than one large meal.
• Weekday lunchtime markets (King's Cross, the City) are less crowded than weekend leisure markets.
