Love Your Local Market 2025 Celebrations at Greenwich Market

In May 2025, Greenwich Market joined the Love Your Local Market (LYLM) fortnight.

Kicking off on 16th May we erected “ I ♡ GM” cardboard letters and asked customers and Greenwich Market traders to add their thoughts on why they love Greenwich Market.

Well, within a day the entire installation was already covered in messages! We’ve since had to keep peeling off layers to make space for more messages from our fans.

All we can say is the support has been more than we expected and now Robinson Alcantara, Duty Manager, has suggested we should make a permanent version in the market. Watch this space.

To see everything we got up to during the fortnight of celebrations check out our socials @greenwichmarket and get a taste of the events at the market here.

From live music as you shop to face painting for all the family, there was something for everyone to enjoy.

Just because Love Your Local Market is over doesn’t mean that the celebrations should stop there are so many more reasons to love Greenwich Market. This year marks 40 years since this London Market diversified from being a traditional market to begin selling all of the arts, crafts, antiques and vintage finds that you love today.

Join us over the next 40 days as we share some of our incredible Makers, Creators, Artists, Bakers, Crafters and Foodies stories who make Greenwich Market what it is today. Get a behind the scenes look as to their inspiration, creative process and what they love most about being at Greenwich Market.

Whether you are looking for a sweet treat on your lunch break or a gift with the personal touch from handmade jewellery to crochet flowers there is something for everyone. Check out our shops & stalls ahead of your visit so you can get the most out of your trip.

Make the most of the sunshine and summer vibes in Greenwich and show your Love for Your Local London Market.
