Catch the Christmas Spirit in Greenwich Market
Nothing makes the heart beat a little faster in the lead up to Christmas than the buzz of a busy market. Greenwich Market ticks all the boxes as London’s only historic market set within a World Heritage site.
Steeped in history, gorgeous Christmas lights and the visual delight of up to 120 designer maker stalls and a further dozen or so temptingly delicious food stalls. Stick a pin on the globe and the chances are you’ll find the local cuisine, piping hot and ready to go, in Greenwich Market. The selection of exciting street foods changes daily. Look out for organic and vegan options too, as well as cakes, biscuits and chocolates. And the best mulled wine in London!
The Market has just undergone a massive refurbishment programme, creating a very special destination. The historic cobblestone flooring has been levelled and relaid and the roof refurbished with new glass, the result is amazing – light floods into the market and it is warm and dry even on the chilliest of days.
