The lowdown
Tucked inside a ring of Georgian buildings in the centre of old Greenwich is a covered market that has traded since the 1700s. Greenwich Market is small, characterful and free to wander, and it leans towards arts, crafts and makers rather than mass-produced tat.
On any given day you will find handmade jewellery, prints, ceramics and vintage, with antiques and collectables taking over on certain weekdays. The food is the modern star, a dense cluster of independent traders cooking everything from Ethiopian to brownies in a space small enough to smell it all at once.
What sets it apart is the setting. You step out of the market straight into maritime Greenwich, the Cutty Sark, the Naval College, the park and the river all a few minutes walk, making it the natural free heart of a whole day out by the Thames.
