Tachbrook Street Market is a long-standing general market tucked into the heart of Pimlico, running along Tachbrook Street between Warwick Way and Churton Street. It mixes the everyday rhythm of a traditional London street market with a lively spread of international street food, drawing local residents and Victoria-area office workers alike. The market is free to wander, with prices set at the individual stalls, and it has become best known for its hot lunchtime food while keeping its fruit, veg and household trade going alongside.

Opening times

Tachbrook Street Market runs Monday to Saturday, roughly 8am to 6pm. The fruit and veg stalls are out earliest, while the hot food stalls tend to fire up from around 10am and the street food trade winds down in the early afternoon. For the best choice of cooked food, aim to arrive between late morning and the lunch rush.

What's on the stalls

You will find fresh fruit and vegetables, a traditional butcher and fishmonger, clothing, and household goods. The real draw is the international hot food, with stalls serving Thai, Middle Eastern, Afghani, Turkish, Iranian, Moroccan, Palestinian, Japanese and more. It is a proper working market rather than a polished tourist set-piece, which keeps prices fair and the atmosphere local.

Around the market / getting there

The market sits in Pimlico in the City of Westminster, a short walk from both Pimlico and Victoria stations. After browsing, pair it with a stroll through the elegant Pimlico squares or a walk down to the riverside and Tate Britain nearby. It makes an easy, low-key lunch stop if you are exploring the area on foot.
