Walthamstow: William Morris, Street Markets, and the Wetlands
Walthamstow's market runs for nearly a mile along the High Street, the longest outdoor market in Europe. On Saturdays it fills with shoppers buying fruit, fabric, electronics, and household goods from stalls that have traded, in various forms, since the sixteenth century. The covered market on the adjacent site adds a food hall and independent traders. The area has gentrified considerably since 2010, with craft breweries, wine bars, and sourdough bakeries arriving alongside the market stalls.
