Broadway Market

During the week, Broadway Market has a quaint village feel, packed with fantastic restaurants, coffee shops and pubs. However, it’s on a Saturday that this road really comes to life, as the market becomes the real star. Stretching all the way down the street, this food-lover’s market is as much about seeking out quality food as it is about soaking up the relaxed atmosphere – with a freshly grilled burger in one hand and a chilled ice coffee in the other.
Stalls range from delicious desserts with a twist on the classics, including the Meringue Girls and Crosstown Doughnuts, to katsu chicken wraps and unbelievably good tuna burgers from at Fin & Flounder. If the sun is shining, a stop at Nonna’s cycle kart for some homemade gelato is a must. Spices, cheeses, breads, rare-breed meat, handmade pasta and olives are all present – it's hard to imagine the need to go anywhere else for your weekly shop. The only issue you have is trying to figure out what to eat and from where.

Broadway Market, open every Saturday 10am–4pm | London E8 4QJ

Pavilion

If you’ve ever been to Victoria Park for a dog walk then you’ll have seen the pleasant café that sits on the water’s edge, which is part of a lovely family of cafes around East London, popular for their artisan bread, pastries, fresh coffee and food alike. While we love the Victoria Park outpost, we tend to go to their original location on Broadway Market, when out with the dogs. In addition to enjoying their drinks and menu offering, we sometimes like to treat ourselves to one of their lovely store cupboard supplies such as seasonal jams and peanut butters.

Pavilion is open from 7am to 3.30pm Monday to Friday and 7am to 6pm Saturday and Sunday at 18 Broadway Market, E8 4QJ.

Artwords Bookstore

When out for a stroll with your dog it's hard to walk past the windows of Artworks Bookstore on Broadway Market and not want to head in. The magazine and book-filled shelves are dedicated to the creative and visual art world. 

Artwords | 20-22 Broadway Market E8 4QJ

La Bouche

Treat your tastebuds with cheeses, wine, baked goods, fresh ground quality coffee, continental and British fine food classics and more from this deli and café, which has been serving East London since 2004. Whether you are after items for an at-home weekend feast or want to watch the world go by from the pavement seating, do it in the knowledge that the dog can join you too!

Open daily from 8am to 7pm Monday to Friday, 8.30am to 5pm Saturday and 9am to 5pm on Sundays. Find La Bouche at 35-37 Broadway Market, Hackney E8 4PH.

Aesop

Their objective has always been to formulate skin, hair and body care products of the finest quality; they investigate widely to source plant-based and laboratory-made ingredients, and use only those with a proven record of safety and efficacy. The interior was devised with a private home in mind; accordingly, its modest materiality and furnishings could sit just as comfortably in a residential setting.
