Greenwich Market is the place to find treasures of all shapes and sizes. From Vintage clothing to retro furniture to beautiful diamonds and classic books - it is all here. There are also little food stalls dotted around so when you have bought the full collection of Harry Potter books for £13 (yes I did) you can have a munch on some Indian/Chinese/Thai/British/Carribean food. You can spend hours trawling thorugh shelves and racks of goodies so give yourself at least 4 hours to mooch. It is def. worth the time :D

it all so pretty and girly and yet i find it so LONDON!
but old london i mean. I find it really makes it feel original and actually gives a real good feeling and vibe. And personally i think its the covering and the big grey cobblestones! As the other review says…DO NOT wear heels! It will hurt when you twist your ankle.
You can get here eally easily as the DLR is only across the road really.
The Stalls on thursdays and friedays were fab, i always used to take the time to look round this on my way back from the bank/postoffice.
Loads of things to feast your eyes onto here and get your paws on!
you will get some great gifts here if you have birthdays or other events coming up. or you will get some great ideas for gifts. One way or another you will come out of here with something.
The mix is unreal. Really. You name it, you can probably find it here. But do be aware it has some sort of spell cast on it as everyone seems to buy something they don’t actually need…..just want.
Also if you are getting tired from walking there are some lovely open air and closed in cafes.
If you really have explored and enjoyed everything you can about the market then you always have the few shops Greenwich has to look around. There really aren’t alot, maybe 15? And in all honesty they are indeed shops you can find anywhere, ie, boots, superdrug, waterstones, ect ect and so and so on…
That said there is a lovely little mexican restaurant which has some extremely yummy dished that if you fancy a nice little bite for lunchh, it would definately be worth browsing the menu…....

great to look around and soak up the atmosphere

Greenwich Market is located on Greenwich High Street, with its range of unusual, funky shops and decent food places. It is in close proximity to the Cutty Sark DLR station, the famous Cutty Sark itself, the University of Greenwich and Greenwich Park and its famous observatory. The Market has been going strong in Greenwich since 1700.

Greenwich Market is a covered market area located on treacherous cobblestones (do not wear heels - trainers are a must!), the market stall area is always packed to the rafters with stalls and keen bargain-hunters or lovers of the unusual on Fridays to Sundays.

The covered market area is also home to two pubs, lots of delicatessens, a fabulous jewellers and unique gift shops aplenty. These shops and pubs are open most days of the week, ‘tho check individual shops for their specific opening times.

Greenwich Market is famous for its Antiques and collectables stalls which are held every Thursday and Friday (10.00 - 17.00h); for those looking for an unusual gift or homeware items, the Arts and Crafts stalls on Saturdays and Sundays (10.00 - 17.00h) will be just your cup of tea.

Plenty of trains come back and forth via London Charing Cross (Maze Hill or Greenwich mainline) and the DLR has more regular services to Cutty Sark station; there are also a multitude of buses, just check the TFL site for up-to-date travel info.

Food and drink are plentiful so do have a little wander outside of the market area and look at all the tiny shops as you walk through to the Greenwich High Street.

Oh yes, and do keep an eye out for the hot toddy stall located right at the top of the market, next to the old-fashioned sweetie shop. Heavenly stuff when you’re shopping in the winter.
