Tooting Market is a historic covered market on Tooting High Street and South London's original indoor market, established in 1930. Behind its red Art Deco frontage runs a warren of lanes lined with fresh food, an international street food court, independent shops, salons and bars. It was voted Best Small Indoor Market in the UK at the Great British Market Awards and has become one of Tooting's social hubs, equally good for a grocery run or a long evening of eating and drinking. Entry is free and you only pay for what you buy.

Opening times

Tooting Market is open daily, with the building open Monday to Thursday 8am to 6pm, Friday and Saturday 8am to 10.30pm, and Sunday 9am to 5pm. Individual traders set their own hours within that, so daytimes are best for grocery shopping while Friday and Saturday evenings are when the food court and bars come alive.

What's on the stalls

The market mixes fresh fruit and vegetables, seafood, meat, craft beer and wine with a busy food court serving Korean fusion, Italian pizza and panzerotti, Guyanese and Caribbean dishes, burgers and more. Alongside the food are independent fashion, music, arts and crafts and furniture stalls, plus hair and nail salons, making it a genuine all rounder.

Around the market / getting there

The market is on Tooting High Street, a couple of minutes from Tooting Broadway tube on the Northern line. The neighbouring Broadway Market sits just along the street, and the area is known for its independent restaurants and bars, so it is easy to combine a market visit with dinner nearby.
