Maltby Street Market

A weekend street-food lane under the railway arches, smaller and calmer than Borough.

Ropewalk fills up on Saturday and Sunday with a few dozen stalls, gin distilleries and wine bars in the arches. It is narrow and partly covered, so light rain is fine. Walk on to the Bermondsey Beer Mile if you want to make an afternoon of it.

When it works

Mostly under cover, so light rain is fine. Best morning, afternoon.

Good for groups, a date and locals' favourite.
