Chatsworth Road Market

This adorable little market is largely to thank for the total regeneration of Clapton. In an area once better known for violent crime than culinary prowess, it would have been impossible to imagine a food market such as this thriving. But since reopening in 2010, after nearly 20 years in hibernation, it's been attracting people from across London, touted as the next Broadway Market. For scrumptious British nosh like devilled kidneys or home cured bacon head to the boys in vintage attire at What the Dickens? Or try some flavourful and filling okonomiyaki, traditional Japanese pancakes, from Fumio at Sho Foo Doh. Handmade chocolates, home-baked bread or Italian cheeses are all on offer, as well as books and vintage clothes. The street is now full of independent coffee shops and restaurants catering to the new foodie crowds.
