Chapel Market

Chapel Market
Chapel Market, Saturday afternoon, looking east. (November 2005)

Chapel Market is a daily street market in London, United Kingdom. The market is located on a street of the same name near Angel, and sells fruit, vegetables and fish, as well as bargain household goods and cheap clothes. It is open every day except Monday, operating in the mornings only on Thursday and Sunday. The market is only 2-3 blocks long; many of the patrons are local, and food and wares for sale are primarily for daily use.

The ten year old Islington Farmers' Market relocated to Chapel Market in April 2010 and is held every Sunday at the Penton Street end.

Notable Chapel Market pubs include the Agricultural at the extreme east end, an old institution that got its name from the historic use of Upper Street as a livestock route south into London and specifically to Smithfield meat market. The Salmon and Compass at the extreme west end of the market is a modern style pub catering more to a hip young crowd. In the middle of the market near to the corner of White Lion Street is The Alma Lounge, popular with an older crowd, and frequently full early in the day.

The street is also notable for M. Manze's, a traditional Pie and Mash vendor whose first branch was established in 1902. And more recently the computer stall selling the latest pc accessories and carrying out on site as well as off site repairs and mods - locally known as Abz Computers or "the laptop stall" - giving the Market a modern image to add to its historical fame.
