It's been so great to see our little market in the heart of King's Cross get back into its swing. These long months have been very up and down for everyone, so to get that buzz back feels like a massive relief. So many small businesses and livelihoods depend on the market, and it's great to see it bringing joy and pleasure to so many visitors, whether it's exchanging a smile, chat or a delicious pastry from Ildi at Popina! @popinaldn

Here’s a little shot from @christchurchfoodfestival which we ran a couple of weeks ago, following a few ‘challenges’ during this rocky period, but finally got over the line... 💫

We had an amazing time and want to say a MASSIVE thank you to everyone who made it happen and brought it all together.. the opps teams, partners, chefs, musicians, all staff on EVERY level, and of course the wonderful food and drink producers and street food traders that’s its all about!

We’ve received such positive feedback and are looking forward to cooking up more plans for next year!

In case you’ve missed it, we are back open at Ki

In case you’ve missed it, we are back open at King’s Cross, right in front of the station and providing all the provisions of your fancy, like this golden focaccia from @lbpedlar with @brindisaspanishfoods olive oil.

Every Wednesday - Friday 💫

An early morning captured under the canopy 🌓

Back in 1888 the West Handyside Canopy roof was built to provide a covered area for unloading goods before they were unloaded from the railway carriages and distributed around London. Fish was sold here on Sundays when Billingsgate in the City of London was closed. It must have been a hive of activity, hustle and bustle, and it’s nice to know that we’re keeping that market tradition alive.
