Telegraph Hill Market is a friendly weekly community market that sets up under the plane trees of Telegraph Hill Lower Park in New Cross, south east London. Run by the community food market operator CCFM, it gathers local growers, bakers, cooks and makers into a leafy green-space gathering that doubles as a neighbourhood meeting point. Entry is free and the relaxed park setting, with tables, hot food and coffee, makes it as much a Saturday morning hangout as a shopping trip.

Opening times

Telegraph Hill Market is held every Saturday from 10:00 to 15:00. It runs year round in the lower park, so the best time to arrive is mid morning when the stalls are freshly stocked and the produce and bread are at their fullest. Come earlier for the quietest browse, or later to settle in with hot food and a coffee in the park.

What's on the stalls

The market leans towards fresh, local and seasonal. Expect fruit and vegetables, organic bread, British cheeses, eggs, fresh fish, flowers and handmade cakes with vegan options. Alongside the food you will find hot meals cooked with local ingredients, fresh juices, relishes and sauces, plus community stalls and handcrafted goods. It is a small market with a focus on quality rather than scale.
