A place worth knowing

Walthamstow’s market has occupied the High Street since 1885. Its kilometre of stalls mixes food, clothes and household goods, with surrounding cafés offering a meal between stretches of browsing.

This is a place to see the neighbourhood doing its everyday shopping. Combine the stalls with a café stop, and use the council’s market schedule when planning your visit: the street market does not trade every day.
