Islington has some amazing markets to visit. Whether you’re looking to shop for something special or buy the ingredients for meals, join the hustle and bustle created by our street traders serving the community and visitors alike.

We have three established council-run markets: Chapel, Exmouth and Whitecross Street, which have hundreds of years of tradition. There are also some privately-run, more specialised markets to visit. What are you waiting for? Visit today!

Archway Market
Archway Market is made up of 20 independent businesses, which come together in Navigator Square every Saturday. A one-stop shop for all your weekly groceries, including everything from organic baked goods and veg, to French deli specialities and an olive bar – plus vegan cakes and chutneys. Or, grab some street food to enjoy while you soak up the atmosphere. The market also has speciality stalls, offering all sorts of lovely things like candles and crafts, toys and books, jewellery, vintage and curiosities, as well as a celebrated second hand bookstall. A great place to go for things you can’t find on the high street.
