This historic east London market is being pedestrianised and expanded
Briefly

Chatsworth Road Market in Clapton dates back to the 1930s and once hosted around 200 stalls across up to five days a week. The market now operates on Sundays and specialises in street food while hosting independent sellers of second-hand books and handmade jewellery. Hackney Council has pedestrianised the stretch between Dunlace Road and Blurton Road every Sunday from 6am to 8pm to create more space for vendors, browsing and socialising. The market area is now a fully pedestrianised shopping and eating zone and was relaunched with live music, drumming workshops and kids' play areas. Chatsworth Road Market runs every Sunday from 10am to 4pm on Chatsworth Road.
E5 is actually home to one of London's oldest and most historic markets. We're talking about Chatsworth Road Market. Beginning in the 1930s, the east London bazaar used to be home to around 200 stalls and open up to five days a week. Now it's a Sunday market that specialises in street food and is home to independent sellers flogging everything from second hand books, to handmade jewellery.
We now have good news, because Hackney Council has given Chatsworth Road Market a lovely makeover. Now, every Sunday the street will be transformed into a fully pedestrianised shopping and eating zone. And the market is getting bigger. To create more space for vendors, browsing and socialising, now every Sunday from 6am to 8pm, between Dunlace Road and Blurton Road, there will be no vehicles.
