Hoxton Street Market is one of London's oldest street markets, trading since 1687 and recognised as the oldest street market in Hackney. It runs the length of Hoxton Street in the heart of Hoxton, just off Old Street on the Shoreditch border. The market keeps a real local character, mixing traditional fruit and veg and household stalls with a newer generation of independent traders, makers and street food cooks. A recent council-backed revamp added smart new stall infrastructure while keeping the historic, community feel that has drawn east Londoners here for centuries.

Opening times

The main weekly market runs every Saturday from 9am to 4pm, when the street is at its busiest and the full mix of stalls is out. Some street food and traders also appear on weekdays, with the liveliest weekday trade usually between 11am and 3pm. The market is closed on bank and public holidays, with the exception of Good Friday. For the fullest experience, come on a Saturday late morning.

What's on the stalls

Hoxton Street Market keeps a genuine everyday-market mix rather than a polished tourist line-up. You will find fresh fruit and vegetables, household goods and traditional market stall commodities alongside clothing and handmade gifts. The market has actively recruited makers selling original hand-crafted goods, plus a strong roster of independent street food cooks. It is a good spot for an affordable lunch and a wander rather than a single signature buy.
