The Open Guide to London: the free London guide - Differences between Version 5 and Version 4 of Islington Farmers' Market

Contents are identical

A small farmers' market held under the covered bit to the east of Islington Green every Sunday from 10am till 2pm. Things like game pies, fresh vegetables, “home-grown” apples and pears, goats' cheese and so on. Almost like a little piece of Borough Market. Some of the stalls aren't immediately obvious — you need to head south through the stalls down Camden Passage to get to a couple more just opposite the Camden Head.

Highlights include:

  • Mere Fish Farm — smoked trout and eel, rather good fresh rainbow trout (not always there though)
  • Wight Salads — a good variety of decent tomatoes, roasted cherry tomatoes in oil
  • Artisan Foods — little savoury tartlets
  • The bread stall whose name I don't know — good sour French country bread, lovely carrot cake, etc
  • The other stall whose name I don't know — excellent chicken, ham and leek pies
  • Vegetable stall — lovely and reasonably priced mesclun (soft baby salad leaves) in season
