On Sundays you can expect about&nbsp;<strong>250 stalls<\/strong>&nbsp;to set up selling all sorts of goods. During the week, the market is smaller but it still offers a nice selection of everyday items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-light-green-cyan-background-color has-background\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"highlights-at-east-street-market\">Highlights at East Street Market<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Value for money &#8211; some of the best bargains in London<\/li><li>No-nonsense local market (not gentrified yet)<\/li><li>Fresh fish<\/li><li>Great range of fruit &amp; veg<\/li><li>Caribbean foods<\/li><li>African clothing<\/li><li>Asian supermarkets <\/li><li>Household budget apparel<\/li><li>Second-hand market <\/li><\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:60px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are passing by East Street, there is no excuse not to stop and pick up some of the bargain-priced&nbsp;<strong>fresh produce<\/strong>.

African materials and clothing are also sold at the market, along with dishes, domestics, and stationery. This market has a bit of everything for sale, and it is a true local landmark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The people who live in this less that wealthy area really do shop the market and depend on it for everything from their daily meals to their entertainment and clothing. It is also a&nbsp;<strong>community meeting place<\/strong>, where residents are likely to run into their neighbours and friends perusing the same goods they are browsing through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike some other markets in London that seem a bit planned and arranged to suit the tourist trade, East Street Market has grown up organically, and its goods and services have evolved to meet the ever-changing needs of its local population. One thing is for sure; you won&#8217;t be rubbing elbows with a lot of tourists here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>East Street Market is a great place to immerse yourself in the daily rhythms of South London life.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-background\" style=\"background-color: #efefef;\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<h2>Key Information East Street Market<\/h2>\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<ul>\n<li><a class=\"rank-math-link\" href=\"https:\/\/londonducklings.co.uk\/outdoor-activities-kids\/\">Outdoor<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Type: <a href=\"https:\/\/londonducklings.co.uk\/sunday-markets-in-london\/\">Market<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Borough: <a href=\"https:\/\/londonducklings.co.uk\/southwark\/\">Southwark<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Area: <a class=\"rank-math-link\" href=\"https:\/\/londonducklings.co.uk\/south-east-london\/\">South East London<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Tube: Elephant and Castle<\/li>\n<li>Nearby: Imperial War Museum<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.southwark.gov.uk\/business\/markets-and-street-trading\/southwark-markets?chapter=3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Market Website<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<div class=\"map-responsive\">\n<figure><iframe style=\"border: 0;\" tabindex=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/embed?pb=!1m14!1m8!1m3!1d9937.5420628141!2d-0.0953445!3d51.4877926!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x0%3A0x43da2c5d7a5aae22!2sEast%20Street%20Market!5e0!3m2!1sen!2suk!4v1596522779123!5m2!1sen!2suk\" width=\"350\" height=\"250\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" aria-hidden=\"false\"><\/iframe><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>East Street Market&nbsp;is a busy street market located in Walworth, South London.
