The market
Seven Dials Market is housed in the former Thomas Neal's warehouse, which in the 19th century was known for selling fruit and vegetables. The market as we know it opened in 2019, run by KERB, a well-regarded London street-food operator. It sits just across Shorts Gardens from Neal's Yard, about a minute away.
What to eat
The market brings together a curated, rotating line-up of around 21 traders and two bars. A standout is Bleecker, serving some of London's most acclaimed burgers from the Banana Warehouse, alongside Bad Boy Pizza Society for award-winning pizza, Masa Tacos, Mezzo Pasta, Kolkati, Dirty Bagels, and Chin Chin for ice cream. Between them, they cover everything from burgers, tacos and pasta to dumplings, bagels and desserts, with a good spread of vegetarian, vegan and halal options. Cucumber Alley is a dedicated section for snacks and sweets such as buns, waffles and crêpes, and several parts of the market are named after fruit and vegetables as a nod to its history.
The space is built around communal seating across two floors, plus bars, so it works just as well for a group dinner or a drink as it does for a quick lunch.
Opening times
Seven Dials Market is generally open daily, with food served from late morning until late evening and slightly shorter hours on Sundays. As individual traders set their own times, it's worth checking the market's website before a special trip.
When to visit
While it's a great spot for meals throughout the day, weekends can get particularly busy. If you're looking for a quieter experience, consider visiting on a weekday or outside typical lunch and dinner hours.
