Tip 22: Maltby Street Markets

Sweet little Maltby Street in Bermondsey has an even sweeter little market on Saturdays and Sundays. It is close in location to the infamous Borough Market, but way less hectic and offers a quaint market experience with a community feel. Locals to the area call the street market itself  "Ropewalk" - so be sure to drop that into conversation whilst wandering.

Huddled under the old railway arches you will find independent eateries and drinkeries as well as market stalls selling tantalising fare and awesome antiques. Two personal favourites are the amazing Reubens sandwiches from Montys Deli and a spritzy G&T from Little Bird Gin.

Maltby Street is in SE1 and is open from 9am on Saturday and runs until early afternoon. It opens a little later on a Sunday; either 10am or 11am. Take the Jubilee to Bermondsay to get there. Check their Facebook page for official opening times: https://en-gb.facebook.com/maltbystreet
