What to expect at Greenwich Market this Autumn

Autumn brings short (often sunny) days; cool, crisp temperatures; and city streets cloaked in red, orange and amber. Ready to experience one of the best markets in London this autumn? Greenwich Market also pulls out all the stops and to deliver that cosy vibe and celebrate the best of the autumn season.

Bring a seasonal refresh home

The changing of the seasons is the perfect time to seasonally recharge your home. Shop at stalls like Mercado Alley with its handcrafted pieces that blend art and functionality or LouLouMac’s for their distinctive handmade crafts that brighten up any space. What better way to call autumn into your home than with a new scented candle or diffuser from Pergola London, where candles are hand-poured using the finest natural ingredients and essential oils.

Autumn themed gifts
You can also bring some cheer to friends and family with other perfect autumnal buys: artisan jewellery that compliments a fall wardrobe from permanent jewellery with Laura-Lees Morgan to eco-friendly hand crafted jewellery with DeMec Jewellers , or a bespoke sculpted piece from Richard Chown Jewellery to name a few. Art work from prints to photography to give any room a lift, with Len Art painting up a storm to city inspired screenprints with Catford Creative; and the latest cruelty-free beauty products to lean into a new post-summer self-care regime from Amber Eve  . Support local businesses
After the summer tourism season is over, supporting local makers feels all the more important. Greenwich Market’s traders are more than just retailers, they create a special community feel that you can be a part of. Find your new favourite trader.

Half-term and Halloween

Park It in the Market: Halloween Special

October also brings in the first half-term holiday of the school year for families, plus the excitement of Halloween for kids – young and old. Greenwich Market makes the most of both with special events to entertain, enlighten (and maybe also spook) the whole family. Featuring our Park It in the Market Halloween special on Thursday 30th October, find out more here.

Seasonal comfort foods

At Greenwich Market you can also get stuck into seasonal comfort food. From Indian street food with a warm cup of chai at Chai Junction, to rich carbonara and gnocchi topped with earthy mushrooms from Mama Mia Guilty Pleasures. As October is also the beginning of oyster-dredging season in England, we recommend making a beeline to the Oyster Bros for fresh seafood with a squeeze of lemon.

Whether it’s handmade gift-hunting, styling your home, or simply warming up with a comfy snack, Greenwich Market delivers an enriching shopping experience and a very special day out this autumn.
