The service is excellent and they will order things for you if you want something they dont stock. There is a post office, without the usual queues in post offices nowadays. The cafe is excellent value for money, good service, local home baked foods, yummy cakes and desserts, cooked foods or a simple sandwich, (freshly made, with salad and crisps on the side). The cafe is very popular but not noisy. I am disabled and this shop is a godsend as I cant walk around big shops and supermarkets but I can get most things here.

We loved this market. We went on Saturday, which I believe it is open only on Friday and Saturday…read more Much less crowded than the Borough Market, which you can barely move through certain sections during peak hours (though great selection). I enjoyed a quiche. My daughters enjoyed strawberries topped with Nutella. We all shared a fish and chips meal from Poppie's which I highly recommend. Probably the best fish and chips we had while in London. There are olive bars and paella and all sorts of amazing foods to enjoy. Also pick up a Notting Hill bookstore linen tote while you are there.

I loved that everything was put in paper bags, not plastic. I read that the market has been around since the 9th century, which I loved knowing. A short walk down the hill brings you to beautiful neighborhoods with cobblestone roads and the huge cathedral. It's a lovely area overall.

You can find everything from brilliant pies (Raven's Den in particular), awesome cheese (Lincolnshire Poacher and others), fresh veggies (Earthworks and others), fresh fish and meats... not to mention cupcakes and other sweet treats! We usually start by getting a coffee for the husband from the vendor with the mobile coffee bar (the machine is in the back of his van), and then wander the markets and end at the Merchant for a cup of tea for me. As long as there is a rainbow biscuit on the way even our toddler is happy.

I went in 2 different times: saturday at 3pm and wednesday at 10am. Two completely different vibes. I tried the famous sandwich from the black pig, viral chocolate covered strawberries and bread ahead. Black pig - the best one sandwich: it was AMAZING!!! I was a bit scared to get this since i was by myself but let me tell you, it was not heavy as i expected it to be. Just delicious overall and would totally recommend. Chocolate strawberries: I love strawberries and chocolate but definitely think you can find cheaper alternatives anywhere in london. Bread Ahead: my new favorite pastry place. I pretty much got a donut from this place (not this location) everyday because the black currant cheesecake donut was that good. I got the tiramisu and crème brûlée donut which my brother liked and i wish i could've tasted them before they went bad but anyways, I would totally recommend the donuts from here! Their chocolate chips cookies are HUGE and delicious as well. This was probably one of my favorite markets!

I think it is the second time it is open, and the crowd was decent, though not very packed leaving you plenty of space to walk around, look at products and make your selection. It is not like the busy places you see at Borough Market and such and god it feels good being able to move without punching somebody's lunch. We had the Indian platter and a sausage roll. Not to die for but definitely good and well portioned making you feel quite full after then. We also bought cheese, apples, and chicken. Note there is a stand with so much nice pieces of meat. Venison, lamb, chickey etc, so so nice. We ll come back to try that for sure. See you around when in the area.

The only downside to the market is that it's usually very crowded and it can take a while to actually get your items, but it's totally worth it.

While there still is some of the fashion that made this market famous, and one or two of the old timers stalls, most of the market is shoddy stuff, second rate and tawdry. Chatting to some of the stall holders, it seems that most of the people who could have packed up and moved out to Essex. The pie and mash shop is still there. Maybe I'd feel different about it if I was younger and looking for clothes, but these days I avoid it.

Roman Road Market is my favourite market of all time!…read more It may only be small but there is always such a variety of stalls it is difficult to walk around it and not buy anything. Nearly all my clothes, bags, make up and even some of my household items have come from Roman Road market. Due to them being so cheap but such good quality. My favourite stalls are the make up stall which stocks brand name make up at low prices. The designer clothes stall which stocks all designer clothes that are left over stock at heavily reduced prices, and the argos returns stall which can get hold of pretty much anything you want from the argos catalogue. Open 3 days a week, the only reason you would need to go anywhere other than Roman Road market is to do your food shopping but dont forget to buy your fresh fruit and veg whilst you are there!

The only killer for me are the opening hours - finishing at 1pm is a bit of a killer, I am barely awake by that time on a Saturday (slack I know).

A very nice farmer's market, Sundays only. It's well worth a visit if getting to Queens Park…read morestations isn't too much of a hike. There were at least 40 vendors including: - 3 or 4 booths selling cheeses - 4 or so purveyors of meats - 2 or 3 seafood sellers - many selling veggies, cakes, pastries, ciders, eggs and other raw materials. And if you just want to show up and eat, there were 5-6 vendors selling sausage rolls, burgers, chicken, pulled pork/beef sandwiches, plus French stews. While there are much bigger/well known weekend markets in London, I think this is the best example of a local one that is mostly focused on farmers, fisherman, bakers and butchers - but that also has a lot of stalls where you can eat something really nice. Nobody is selling overpriced jars of stuff or catering to massive crowds. This is a market where you can discuss how the cheese is made with the person who made it.

This one was just as good. I think california has different regulations or something because there were lots more meat and seafood stalls.

So excited to come back and figure out what to make that evening for Sunday roast with my market finds!

Definitely have to try the Bath cheeses and the dumplings....and why not, the crabs for 6£ each. Overall it is not that cheap but it's still really cool, useful, healthy and good!

Generally around 20 stalls - from pasta to burgers, veg to oysters. It's not all bio / organic as one reviewer has stated, but don't let that detract you - generally the quality of the produce is exceptional. Highlights include - the 'gyoza' man - when he turns up - well worth queuing for and sampling. - fish stall - gary's fresh fish - always ready to help with suggestions and ideas for cooking - the apple stall (generally closer to the station entrance) - awesome selection of fruit and worth trying a variety V difficult to park nearby as the local streets get filled up with traders' vans.
