Oval Farmers' Market
Oval Farmers' Market sets up every Saturday in the leafy Georgian churchyard of St Mark's Church, directly opposite Oval tube station. Opened in 2007 as a partnership between the local community, Lambeth Council and the church, it has grown into an award-winning weekly fixture that blends the charm of a traditional village gathering with the buzz of south London. Stallholders bring fresh fruit and vegetables, organic meat, fish, cheese, honey and baked goods straight from the producer, alongside hot food to eat on the spot. It is a relaxed, family-friendly spot to shop local, meet the growers and make a morning of it.
Opening times
Oval Farmers' Market runs every Saturday from 10:00 to 15:00, all year round. Mornings are the best time to arrive for the widest choice, as the freshest produce and most popular bakes can sell out before lunch. Come closer to closing if you want a quieter browse and the chance of end-of-day deals.
What's on the stalls
Expect fresh fruit and vegetables from biodynamic and local growers, a fishmonger, organic meat, cheese, honey, marinated olives, flowers, pies, cakes, soups and juices. You will also find FairTrade coffee, handmade jewellery and skincare, plus hot street food to eat on the spot. Stalls are seasonal, so the line-up shifts through the year.
Around the market / getting there
The market sits in the churchyard of St Mark's Church at 337 Kennington Park Road, SE11 4PW, in Kennington in the borough of Lambeth. Oval tube station (Northern line) is directly opposite, making it one of the easiest farmers' markets to reach in south London.
