Saturday

5 September

  1. Markets Free

    Totally Thames: river festival, whole programme

    All day Various riverside venues, South Bank

    Until 30 Sep

    A month of walks, boat trips, art on the foreshore and one super-choir on the river. Most of it costs nothing and needs no booking.

  2. Markets Free

    Broadway Market

    09:00 to 17:00 Broadway Market, Hackney

    Saturday street market with London Fields alongside it for the afternoon and the good bookshop at the top of the street.

  3. Markets Free

    Maltby Street Market

    10:00 to 17:00 Maltby Street, Southwark

    A narrow run of arches near Bermondsey doing some of the best street food in London. Smaller and considerably less crowded than Borough.

  4. Food and drink Free

    Brixton Village and Market Row

    09:00 to 22:00 Brixton Village, Brixton

    Covered arcades of small kitchens and shops off Coldharbour Lane. Busiest from six, and it runs late for a market.

  5. Markets Free

    Ridley Road Market

    09:00 to 17:00 Ridley Road Market, Dalston

    A working street market, not a curated one: fruit and veg, fabric, fish, and prices that are not aimed at visitors.

  6. Food and drink Free

    Mercato Metropolitano

    12:00 to 23:00 Mercato Metropolitano, Elephant and Castle

    A former paper factory turned food market, with a bar in the middle and space to sit, which is rarer than it sounds.

  7. Food and drink Free

    Coal Drops Yard

    10:00 to 20:00 Coal Drops Yard, King's Cross

    Victorian coal sheds rebuilt as shops and kitchens, with the canal on one side and Granary Square on the other.

  8. Markets Free

    Portobello Road Market

    09:00 to 17:00 Portobello Road, Notting Hill

    The Saturday antiques market is the famous one and runs the length of the road. Go before eleven or accept the crowd.

  9. Food and drink Free

    Battersea Power Station

    10:00 to 22:00 Battersea Power Station, Battersea

    The turbine halls reopened as shops and kitchens, with the chimney lift if you want the view. The river walk outside is free.

  10. Markets Free

    Greenwich Market

    10:00 to 17:30 Greenwich Market, Greenwich

    Under a Victorian roof, trading most days, and the best of the London markets for actual presents rather than mulled wine.

Sunday

6 September

  1. Markets Free

    Columbia Road Flower Market

    08:00 to 15:00 Columbia Road, Shoreditch

    Sunday only. Go at 08:00 for the choice or after 14:00 for the shouting and the two-for-a-tenner end of the day.

  2. Pick Markets Free

    Tidefest at Strand on the Green

    11:30 to 17:00 Strand on the Green, Chiswick

    Free river festival on the foreshore: kayaking and paddleboarding taster sessions, boat trips, dance workshops and a street party. The road closes at 11:30 and the party runs one until four, with games and art for children through the afternoon.
