There’s something so special about seeing the tables in the food court, on the square, and on the mezzanine full up with people chitchatting and sharing their meals. The atmosphere around the building is buzzing and we’re so glad to be a place where you can meet up with loved ones for everything from a quick coffee to an hours-long catch up. Come by for lunch today — we can’t wait to see ya!

Have you ever wondered what it’d be like to lounge on the Market’s balcony? 🤔💭

Find out for yourself! The Market’s balcony is OPEN for public use and we’ve dressed it up with plenty of comfortable seating for you to enjoy. Bring a book, grab yourself a cup of coffee or tea, and enjoy the view. Please adhere to our safety rules during your visit — enjoy! 📖☕️

The Market is a great place to be all year round, but there’s something extra special about a cozy grocery haul during the ‘ber months.

From the freshest proteins from our butcher at Chris’ Country Cuts to homemade pasta and sauces from Glenda’s to local produce from our indoor and outdoor vendors — we have everything you need to make nourishing, cozy meals with ease from the comfort of your own home. We’re already dreaming of comforting pasta bakes, scrumptious stews, and memories made around the dining table.

Get inspired by the season and find everything you need under one roof!

The scent of fall is in the air and it finally feels like the perfect time to preheat the oven and start baking all your favourite recipes! 🧈🍂⭐️🫚🧺

My Spice Thyme has everything you need for fall baking, from toasty cinnamon to the fragrant nutmeg we’ve featured in our 2027 Covent Garden Market calendar! 🗓️ Stay tuned for next year’s edition coming out this November, complete with detailed recipes so you can learn along with our featured chefs.

On Sundays here at the market, we host Sampling Sundays, a chance to try delicious bites from different vendors. Whether it’s your first time tasting or a reminder of how good it really is, it’s the perfect way to explore what’s local and tasty! This weekend’s feature is Rice Box, and we’ll be serving up their oh-so delicious sesame balls!
