Writes Kris Deichler from Barbican, City & Clerkenwell estate agents Frank Harris and Company:
“One local gem for City residents and office workers in the know, is a street market that dates back to the 17th Century, making it one of the oldest in London. The market in Whitecross Street had been on the decline some years ago, but a recent regeneration program by the Council has made it a busy retail hub for EC1 once again.
“In addition to its daily general market (open Monday – Friday, 11am – 3pm), there is a weekly specialist food market which runs every Thursday and Friday when hoards of hungry office workers and local residents descend on the street to sample the wide range of world cuisine, cakes and delicious morsels that are on offer.
“As well as the stalls there’s also an array of shops on the street itself including restaurants, coffee shops, tailors, hair salons, barbers, takeaways, a Waitrose supermarket plus an art gallery.
“There’s a wonderful and growing cultural appeal to the street too and in the summer of 2011, it was used as an open air gallery exhibiting work from highly respected urban artists such as Gavin Turk, Shephard Fairey and Paul Insect. If you don’t yet know about it, we highly recommend you make a visit there soon.”
