"Model Market, open in a converted 1950s market in Lewisham, was one of south London's most-loved street food spots before it closed in 2019. Seven years on and it's making a return as part of the redevelopment of Lewisham Shopping Centre. The new Model Market will take design cues from the old one, namely the 1950s style, with retro shopfronts, string lights and nostalgic charm, but will still feel fresh."
"Good food and good music will also still be at the heart of Model Market, with space for independent kitchens, local makers, creatives, DJ sets, events and pop-ups. Street food and drink traders, indie chefs, bakers, artists and makers can register their interest in joining Model Market here until 1st March, ahead of a spring opening. The team are particularly interested in hearing from south London traders as it's all about celebrating the local community."
"Model Market is about bringing people together and celebrating the energy, creativity and spirit of the local community. We're incredibly excited to revive the Model Market at Lewisham and give it a fresh new chapter. With a nostalgic design inspired by mid-century shopfronts and a commitment to modern, sustainable values, the new Model Market will feel both timeless and completely new - a reimagined street market for a new generation."
Model Market originally operated in a converted 1950s market in Lewisham and closed in 2019; it will return seven years later as part of the Lewisham Shopping Centre redevelopment. The new venue will revive mid-century design cues—retro shopfronts, string lights and nostalgic charm—while maintaining a fresh, modern feel. Food and music remain central, with space for independent kitchens, local makers, creatives, DJs, events and pop-ups. Traders can register interest until 1 March ahead of a spring opening. The project prioritises south London traders and celebrates local community energy and creativity. Opening date: spring 2026.
