Greenwich Market

The market has stood for centuries in the heart of one of London’s top tourist destinations, but when USM took over management in 1997 it was held at weekends only and lacked quality and consistency. Since then it has grown steadily to five days a week, and is renowned for the variety of its arts and crafts goods, complemented by the surrounding shops and pubs. 

With high demand and a long waiting list for stalls, priority has always been given to designer-makers. Weekly antique and food markets, an arts collective, and regular community-based promotion have all contributed to its becoming a major visitor attraction and a focal point for local life.
