Broadway Market Tooting
Broadway Market Tooting is one of South London's oldest markets, established in 1936 and running ever since on Tooting High Street in the borough of Wandsworth. Not to be confused with the better-known Broadway Market in Hackney, this is a sprawling covered market and parade of independent shops, stalls, bars and restaurants in the heart of Tooting, a few steps from Tooting Broadway station. Entry is free and you only pay for what you buy, making it an easy, low-cost place to browse, eat and shop seven days a week.
Opening times
The market and its parade of shops are open every day, with most traders running roughly daytime hours through the week and into the weekend. Saturday is the busiest day, when the full run of stalls is out and the market is at its liveliest. Individual shops, bars and stalls keep their own hours, so a midweek visit will be quieter than a Saturday afternoon. As always with independent traders, exact hours vary stall to stall.
What's on the stalls
With over one hundred stalls and shops, Broadway Market Tooting packs in an enormous variety under one roof. You will find fresh food and groceries, Caribbean and international produce, fruit and veg, clothes, jewellery, records and CDs, electronics, homewares and oriental rugs. Alongside the retail there are bars, restaurants and street-food traders, plus services such as hairdressers, nail salons, a travel agent and a pet shop. It reflects the diverse, multicultural character of Tooting.
Around the market / getting there
Broadway Market sits on Tooting High Street, with the entrance close to Tooting Broadway Underground station on the Northern line. The neighbouring Tooting Market is just along the High Street, so the two covered markets are easy to visit together. The surrounding area is well known for its independent cafes, curry houses and bars, making it a good spot to spend a few hours eating and browsing.
