Chapel Market

Chapel Market has been at the centre of community life in Angel for more than 150 years and has long been a bustling hub for local trade. In fact, Sainsbury’s opened their very first Islington store on the corner of Chapel Market in 1882.
Formerly known as Chapel Street, the market was officially recognised in 1879 and is still going strong today. Packed with character and variety, traders offer everything from fresh fruit and veg, to flowers and cards, gifts, toys, gadgets and household goods.
Shoppers are encouraged to bring their own bags and food containers to help keep the market sustainable and reduce waste.
