Piccadilly Market, market in London
Piccadilly Market is an outdoor marketplace set within a courtyard behind St. James's Church in central Westminster. The stalls offer freshly prepared food from around the world, handmade crafts, and gifts from passionate small vendors who operate here regularly.
The area has functioned as a trading hub for centuries, evolving from simple street stalls into a formal marketplace over time. The nearby St. James's Church, built in the 17th century, provides the historic backdrop for this continuing gathering place where commerce and community meet.
The market brings together traders from different backgrounds who share their food and crafts with the community. You can hear conversations in many languages and watch vendors passionately explain their products and cooking methods.
The market operates on weekdays during lunchtime hours and is easily accessible by public transport, with several tube stations and bus routes nearby. Seating is available both in the courtyard and at nearby Southwood Garden, a quiet green area perfect for taking a break.
The market is primarily focused on freshly prepared international food run by young entrepreneurs introducing new culinary ideas and supporting their local communities. The rotating stalls mean there is always something different to discover, encouraging visitors to return regularly.
