“A little alley flanked by railway arches & colourful flags, a magnet for discerning foodies.”

Maltby Street Market has been a local Bermondsey gem since 2010. This unlikely South-East London backwater quickly became a popular weekend destination for locals and visitors alike…

It’s a place where passionate foodie traders begin their start-up street food dream… with some going on to open up their own establishments, whilst others remain, as the charm of The Ropewalk hooks them in to the cobbles of SE1.

“The Ropewalk” bears its name as a reference to a nearby ropewalk owned by notable Bermondsey eccentric, Robert Rich, in the eighteenth century. The area was disrupted by the the construction of the London to Greenwich railway completed in 1836. The viaduct that carried the railway consisting of 40,000,000 bricks [not verified by us!] now provides a home for both Maltby Street Market and many other traders in Bermondsey.

For global street-food fusions, disruptive dishes, a unique flag-lined destination and railway arches full of old London zest, look no further…
