Duke of York Square, King's Road, Chelsea, London · SW3 4LY · Sa 10:00-16:00

Duke of York Square Fine Food Market is one of London's best open-air fine food markets, held every Saturday on the public square just off the King's Road in Chelsea. Around 45 independent stalls arrange themselves around the central lawn, mixing fresh produce, artisan groceries and hot street food from across the globe. It sits within the Cadogan-owned Duke of York Square estate, a redeveloped former military school dating back to 1801, now surrounded by boutiques, restaurants and the Saatchi Gallery. Entry is free and you pay only for what you buy.

Opening times

The market runs every Saturday throughout the year, from 10am until 4pm. Arrive earlier in the day if you want the pick of the fresh produce, cheeses and baked goods, as the stalls are at their fullest first thing. Later in the day the focus shifts towards ready-to-eat hot food, which is ideal if you are coming to graze and have lunch on the square.

What's on the stalls

Roughly 45 stalls offer a vibrant mix of food and drink with flavours from around the world. You will find seasonal fruit and vegetables, baked goods, cheeses, charcuterie and preserves such as sauces and olives, alongside plenty of hot street food. Cuisines on rotation include Korean and Vietnamese, Colombian, Argentine and Middle Eastern dishes, plus pastries and bakes from across Europe. The traders are independent specialists, so it is as much a place to shop for the week as to eat on the spot.
