Overview

Street markets hold a very special place in Hackney and are part of a long tradition of thriving markets in the borough stretching back hundreds of years. Hackney’s markets remain a place where people shop and interact with one another, and therefore serve very important social and economic functions.

Hackney Council is currently updating its Markets Strategy for the period 2023-28. This provides an overview of our plans for the development and improvement of our markets over the next five years. The new recommendations for Hackney’s markets support the Mayor’s manifesto, which aims to create new opportunities for local residents, improve the customer experience and provide support for traders to grow their businesses within the borough.

A new five-year strategy is being developed based on our 7 missions:

  1. A Safe and Inclusive Shopping Experience
  2. Fair and Transparent Markets
  3. Financially Secure and Sustainable Markets
  4. A Supported Enterprise and Business Growth
  5. Mental Health and Wellbeing Support for Market Traders
  6. A Future for Young Entrepreneurs
  7. Hackney Markets - Going Green
