The Between the Bridges Market
The Between the Bridges Market on the South Bank is a vibrant open-air market nestled along the Thames, set against one of London's most iconic riverside backdrops. Situated between Hungerford and Waterloo Bridges, the market offers a lively mix of independent street food traders, artisan produce, and eclectic craft stalls.
Visitors can browse a rotating selection of vendors serving cuisines from around the world, alongside locally sourced ingredients, handmade goods, and unique gifts. The relaxed, festival atmosphere makes it a perfect spot to wander, graze, and soak up the energy of the South Bank — whether you're pausing mid-walk along the Thames Path or making a dedicated trip.
With the river on one side and the cultural institutions of the South Bank close at hand — the Tate Modern, Shakespeare's Globe, and the BFI among them — the market sits at the heart of one of London's most dynamic neighbourhoods. It's a great option for a casual afternoon out, combining food, shopping, and some of the best views the city has to offer.
