To help keep traders, shoppers and community safe the council has taken the difficult decision to close all street markets in Islington until further notice. They will reopen as soon as it is safe to do so.

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 four established council-run markets: Chapel, Exmouth, Camden Passage and Whitecross Street, which have hundreds of years of tradition. There are also some privately-run more specialised markets to visit, so what are you waiting for, visit today!
