New monthly street market in Clapham

A new monthly street market has recently been launched in Clapham, offering a fantastic range of artisan produce and providing an alternative to shopping at supermarkets.

The new market in Venn Street is a result of a partnership between Lambeth Council and market operator Sourced Market and should provide a major boost local businesses. Traders have been sourced from all over London and include local butcher Moen's and fishmonger Moxon's. Additionally there are a number of Borough Market favourites, such as: Neal’s Yard Dairy, Flour Power City Bakery and Secrett's Farm. Please see http://www.sourcedmarket.com/ for a full traders list.

The market will run on the last weekend of every month from the New Year. The market will take place over three days. Friday and Saturday will be all about produce, with Sunday being a flower market. Hot food will be available all weekend.

There will also be a special Christmas market from Friday 11th to Sunday 13th December.

Long term market plans linked to the possible pedestrianisation of Venn Street are also being considered by the council as part of the wider public consultation process for the Clapham Gateway project. If you'd like to see this happen, please let your local councillors know you would support it!
