"The market, which mostly sells food and products from South and Latin America, closed five years ago over serious health and safety concerns. It was prevented from reopening as the building was found to be in a dangerous condition. At the time, it was under threat from property developer Grainger PLC, which had plans to erect around 190 build-to-rent flats on the site."
Seven Sisters Market, home to the Latin Village, formally reopened on Saturday October 4 after closing in 2020 due to serious health and safety concerns. Grainger PLC abandoned earlier development plans for the site in 2021 following high costs and community opposition. Places for London, supported by a £2 million fund from the mayor and TfL, carried out safety works and protected traders. The market now contains 40 indoor and outdoor stalls, new seating and toilets, a community space overseen by Wards Corner Community Benefit Society, and an improved route between Suffield Road and Seven Sisters Road.
