Get down to Broadway Market for a traditional taste of London's East End

broadwaymarket.jpgBroadway Market is a farmers style market selling sea-food, organic meat, dairy products, fruit and vegetables, coffee, bread and cakes as well as health products, arts & crafts, clothing and much more.

Historically Broadway Market was a thoroughfare from the farmlands of Essex to Brick Lane's slaughterhouse, London Fields was the last common grazing area before hitting the centre of London; it is believed that this well worn path to the capital could be as old as 3,000 years.

The market had enjoyed a successfully trade for almost a hundreds years when it went into decline and was almost lost, thanks to efforts of the local tenants and residents who teamed up with Hackney Council they transformed Broadway Market once again into a thriving place for local friendly businesses.

Just south of London Fields, Broadway Market is open every Saturday from 8am to 6pm and is perfect for weekend shops or just a browse in preparation for that all important Sunday roast dinner.
