Nag's Head Market is a much-loved covered market on Seven Sisters Road in Holloway, in the London Borough of Islington. Established in 1975 and reopened indoors in 1992, it has kept its character as a busy, multicultural hub of independent traders. Today around fifty small businesses sit under one roof, from greengrocers and a fishmonger to clothing stalls, tailors, hair salons and a global line-up of hot food vendors. It is a genuine neighbourhood market rather than a tourist stop, which is exactly what makes it worth a visit.

Opening times

The market is a covered, indoor market that trades seven days a week. Most stalls open from around 08:00 in the morning, with core trading through the middle of the day and into the afternoon. Hours vary slightly by individual trader, and some hot food and evening stalls stay open later, so the best window for the fullest run of stalls is late morning to mid afternoon.

What's on the stalls

Around fifty independent businesses share the market. You will find fresh produce from a greengrocer and a fishmonger, alongside butchers and grocers stocking fruit, vegetables and ingredients from around the world. There is plenty of clothing, jewellery, luggage and accessories, plus services such as tailoring, shoe repair, phone repair, hairdressing and beauty. The hot food stalls are a highlight, spanning Colombian, Caribbean, Ethiopian, Mexican, Indian, Chinese and more, with strong vegan and vegetarian options.
