Greenwich Market occupies a covered courtyard in the centre of Greenwich, surrounded by small shops. Its stalls sell arts and crafts, antiques, vintage and street food, with the mix changing by day. Cutty Sark DLR station and Greenwich Pier are a few minutes’ walk away. It is busiest at weekends; check the market website for which traders are there on which days, and combine a visit with the Cutty Sark and the Old Royal Naval College.
