East Dulwich Market, better known to locals as North Cross Road Market, is a long-running Saturday street market just off Lordship Lane in East Dulwich, Southwark. Stalls line the road with fresh bread, organic produce, street food, vintage clothing, handmade jewellery and homewares, drawing a friendly local crowd each weekend. It is a relaxed, browsing-and-grazing kind of market rather than a big tourist destination, which is exactly its charm. Entry is free and you pay only for what you buy.

Opening times

The market runs every Saturday only. Southwark Council lists trading hours from 8am to 5pm, though in practice most stalls are set up and busiest from mid-morning into the early afternoon. Arrive before midday for the best pick of fresh produce and food, or come later for a quieter wander. It does not run on other days of the week.

What's on the stalls

Expect an eclectic mix of around two dozen stalls. Food traders sell freshly baked bread and cakes, specialist homemade foods, organic meats and sausages, fresh fish and freshly ground coffee, alongside street food to eat on the spot. Beyond the food there are rails of vintage clothing, handmade jewellery and ceramics, plants, books, baby clothes and assorted gifts and decorative pieces.
